OK, we've got some comets. Comet C2055A6 Lemon is drifting through the constellation of Opiocoslo to the west. At the month, it may be too low and lost in the evening twilight glow. Comet Lemon is visible with the naked. Well, probably not right now. It's probably been to about 6 magnitude or so. So you'll definitely still have to get away from the city lights to spot the comet shining around sixth magnitude right now. Look for Comet Lemon in the early part of the month. A three to four inch scope or greater in dark skies will still be needed to spot some of the details in the early evening hours. So definitely have to catch that after sunset when the skies get dark. We still have Comet Part 2, Swan is passing through the constellation of Aquarius and into Pisces by month's end, shining around 8th magnitude and dimming to about 10th magnitude. Comet Swan is fairly close to Saturn and Neptune, so it shouldn't be too hard to find under dark sky conditions. You'll still need the Bonaparte telescope to spot that one. But that one, Comet 11 may still have a bit of a tail. Comet Swan does not, the last time I looked at it, It was just a kind of a fuzzy patch in the night sky.
