John, be prepared for the April 11-17th conjuction of two naked eye comets
in the morning sky. It will be a spectacular opportunity for us film
photographers!  Tom Polakis has kindly provided a link to his map of the
event:

Nice shots, Chris! Actually, the "ball" is moving nicely into my court. It
is circumpolar in a day or two, and my Schmidt's are ready! 4 minutes on
E200 looks like a good starting point, thanks for the posting. On the down
side, it has been so cloudy I haven't even seen the comet yet, and the
forecast is crappy until Saturday. :-() As the comet is continuing to move
further north - and it is visible all night - there may be an opportunity
for some time lapse movies.
