Have you seen Comet Machholz?

[StClone]

Fairly new and gaining brightness in southeastern sky west of Orion. It's a fuzzy spot (naked eye in good conditions) best seen with binoculars as moon moves away.

1. Yes

Earlier this month before the Moon barged in. I could not see it with the naked eye, but I found it easily with 9x63 binoculars.

4. It should be a very nice little Comet later

Nice little show wouldn't you say. Comets even the lesser ones are a fascination that never wanes.
