Located about four degrees to the south-southeast of Gamma Bootes and six degrees southeast of Beta Bootes, the comet is now about as bright as Arcturus and about 17 degrees north of it. Its motion is obvious over a minute or two in binoculars. The comet's tail should be pointing southwest. The comet is highest in the sky at about 2 AM, but will be visible for much of the night. The comet's brightness was as bright as or perhaps slightly brighter than Arcturus.
Motion is obvious to the naked eye over several minutes.
Through a small telescope, background stars seem to float past the comet. The comet's coma may be as much as two degrees or more in diameter. The comet starts the evening about 10 degrees from the end star of the Big Dipper's handle - above the handle. Over the night it moves six degrees further north. The comet should be at its brightest and largest during this night.
