I had given up trying to see the comet. Your post inspired me to give it one more try. All bundled-up, I used a trekking pole to walk in the darkness, to the end of my driveway, then onto the un-lit, paved road. I walked down the pavement, to clear my big maple trees from blocking my view, shielded my eyes from the most glaring security light in a neighbor's back yard, and scanned the sky to the west—up and down.

No luck. I guess I'll catch it when it returns.

For me, I had to use binoculars and/or take pictures with my phone to see it, it was not visible with the naked eye.

It was very hard to spot because I live "east" of Montreal, and with the light coming from it...

I was glad to see it, thanks for sharing this with us, Bob!

P.S. I suppose this is the comet, I don't know my sky map...
