Finally took the trouble to get up at 4 this am and look for
Hale-Bopp. Boy am I impressed! I saw Halley's and Kahoutek, and
this one puts them to shame. News reports say it is acting a bit
oddly, and I have to wonder if perhaps HAARP is responsible [g].
Anyhow, if you haven't checked it out, it's worth the effort.
Binorcular are great if you have them, but it is plainly visible with
the nude eye, even with Denver's light polution. You should be able
to see it about 35 degrees above the northeastern horizon (assuming
you're in the US) at around 4:30 am local time.
