    For those looking for the dim M7.1 #CometZTF, it's *kind of easy* to spot tonight 2/15, near orange star #Aldebaran, the eye of #Taurus the bull, not to be confused with a nearby brighter, rustier looking #Mars. Look for a disappointing smear of gray in the telescope.

    If you want to see the famous green comet at its best and brightest: tonight (5th February) is your night.

    Look high in the east around 7pm local time. You'll see bright #Mars and the nearby reddish star #Aldebaran. Continue to the left and you'll find the bright yellow star #Capella. Tonight only, #CometZTF is close enough to Capella to see it in the same binocular field of view. You'll see it as a distinct smudge of light.
