Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS is so hard to see. This past week we were blessed with clear morning skies, but despite our best efforts the comet was not bright enough for us to see.

Wait a week. The next opportunity to try and see this faint comet will be when it appears low in the western sky after sunset beginning next Thursday night and subsequent nights. We think this comet is going to be hard to see, binoculars will help at best.

This past week we were out out early in the morning and couldn't find it. However, checking on the Internet the comet seemed only visible enough to photograph atop mountains and high elevation places. Living on the waterfront, clear skies weren't enough to help us.

Stay tuned. If for some reason the comet becomes bright enough to observe, there will be plenty of news about it ahead.
