There's a chance for you to see Comet Lulin - currently in the sign of Leo the Lion.
Here's a link to let you know how to locate it in the night sky - provided we get some clear nights.

Thanks for that Binah.
I looked on the latest Google Earth, but it doesn't seem to do the comets. 🙁
Never mind, the article you linked to gives a good approximation of where to look.
Off to dig out my telescope. 🙂
All Love and Reiki Hugs
You're welcome Giles
The sky is pretty cloudy here, so the telescope will stay in the box this end.
I hope you spot it.
Love Binah

It was extremely overcast here last night.....I'm hoping tonight will be clear.
Me too Oakapple. The diagram gives really clear instructions to find it - provided the sky clears we should be able to see it.
All you need to do is follow the two stars that make up the side of the bowl of the Plough nearest the handle and follow them down towards the horizon and you will come to Regulus one of the Persian Royal Stars. The comet is very near to Regulus.
Fingers crossed for the next few days - it was at its brightest yesterday apparently.
