For some reason the charts showing when and where to see it are missing from the page for me. This is with no ad blockers installed, oddly enough. . I'm at 33°

For some reason the charts showing when and where to see it are missing from the page for me. This is with no ad blockers installed, oddly enough. . I'm at 33° N., so I'll check out the morning sky for now, but would like to get more detail about when to see it.

Try wolframalpha.com, enter e.g. "Comet NEOWISE Berlin, 4a.m." (no quotes, replace Berlin with your location and the time with the time you want to watch) and scroll down until you see an image of the sky with the position of the comet on it. Good luck and enjoy!

  This doesn't seem to work for evening, for reference.

  It interpreted “Neowise” as a reference to the one that was discovered in 2014. To get the right one, “Comet C/2020 F3 Berlin, 4am”

    Thanks for catching that!

I found it using Star Walk 2 on Android. Got my first good look this morning in northern NJ (USA). Snapped a photo with my Pixel 4. Not as good as others you'll see online but not too bad either after a little bit of Photoshop. https://photos.app.goo.gl/cgizZeykr536eJ7w5 https://photos.app.goo.gl/cgizZeykr536eJ7w5

  Amazing picture! Was this before sunset or sunrise?

    It was before sunrise this morning, 7/12, at 4:34a with sunrise happening at 5:36a. (The 5:06a timestamp shown with the link is from the Photoshop edit.) I actually almost missed it. This posted photo was the first one I took and my Pixel happily did it in astrophotography mode. But the sky was brightening fast and astrophotography stopped triggering. I took a few more with Night Sight but they weren't as good.
