Clouded out low down for me tonight.
What azimuth at about dawn time, about 70 degrees East ?
I don't have any high ground to the east of me


The real-time astronomy program RTGUI now has a feature to easily get
comet and asteroid positions over the internet. Just click on "Get
Comet/Asteroid", and enter "C/2006 P1". You'll get positions for the
next 60 days. When you've entered your latitude & longitude, you'll then
have exact altitude, azimuth, rise, and set times for the comet, for
whatever time you choose. Can also use gor "Goto".
