I was awe struck. That tail stretched 45 degrees across the sky. I've never seen anything like that. Everything in the night sky looks better from a dark area. Through a scope you could see what looked like bow shocks, or rings, around the comet.
Most comets are only observable through a telescope.
Grab the map and some binoculars and see what you can find. Pick a bright deep space object, like M31 or the Double Cluster, and see if you can track it down by star hopping to it. Don't expect too much. If you are in the suburbs, you will see what looks like a spot on your binocular lens. Binoculars are the best way to learn the sky.
