Re: [APML] get ready, giant comet coming



A neat comet is on the way.....?
Looking at the ephemeris, for us northern guys, the best time to view this
comet is going to be May 7th onward.  Before the 7th it's lost in the
evening twilight, but from the 7th on, it races northward out of Canis
Major, through Monoceros, Canis Minor, Cancer and into Lynx.  And no moon
past the 8th ish.
Let's just hope it lives up to the prediction...................
