It's a difficult object to observe even under ideal conditions. Because of its orbit it won't rise very high in the evening sky and the waxing Moon will become troublesome.

I was going to have a look last night but no chance with the rain, skies are clearer here today so might be lucky later.

I`m hoping to have a bird`s eye view on Monday evening (from altitude). We should be heading the the right direction as well.

237sj I really hope you get a view from there . Do come back on this post and let us know. Chance in a lifetime sighting.

For casual sky watchers: A growing number of people are reporting that they can see Comet Pan-STARRS with the naked eye. Best estimates place the magnitude of the comet at +0.2, about twice as bright as a 1st magnitude star. As the comet moves away from the sun, its visibility is improving, which means you might be able to see it in the nights ahead. Step outside about an hour after sunset and look west.
