Folks,

A quick question to the experts: I'm in southern Spain and plan heading up to an observatory to view this comet this evening. Can any of you give me an indication as to when it will be visible. I understand the crescent moon will essentially point to it but is there any way I can determine based on my latitude how long I have before it dips below the horizon?

I hear it is going to start losing its brilliance over the next few days so it may be one of the last good viewing days I have.

Thanks
Dave
