Right now. Starts getting faint in the morning light about 4 here MST. Pretty low on the horizon. Those images Ironbender posted above were right on two nights ago. Best before the moon rises. Looks a little west of where it was two nights ago.

I just got a good look as it's pretty clear tonight.
Hardly visible to the naked eye, but it is very noticeable with my 8x42 Leicas.
As stated, low on the horizon, just west of the North Star.

Had to drive about a mile to get a view of the NW horizon last night. There's a strategically-placed tree blocking the view at my house. Still some wildfire smoke in the sky and of course city lighting, but wife and I both found it last night. Right at 10 pm. Could see the head and main tail but the haze kept us from seeing more. Still a beautiful sight.

I can see it easily from my back yard...once I get it located. Once I know where it is, I can just barely make it out without binocs. The binocs make it shine. In the evening, it's straight below the the big dipper. It's moving upward and before the end of the month, it'll be in Ursa Major. If you're in the north part of the US or Canada, they say it'll be circumpolar, that is you'll be able to see it all night as it rotates with the constellation. I don't think it will be here. It'll probably dip just below the horizon in the middle of the night. This shows where it will be on each night for the next couple of weeks. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/0OztmR1.jpg)

Went out and looked at it tonight. Was clear to the south but a bit hazy to the north. Even with the haze easy to find under the Big Dipper with binocs, and visible to naked eye once you know where to look.
Thanks for posting or I would have forgot to look

It's rare to see any cosmic scene from here....usually cloudy/hazy enough to obscure 'em..

Wife & I went out on the pontoon last night and watched it from the middle of the lake for about an hour. Could barely make it out with the naked eye, but thru 10x binoculars we could see it good. There was no moon and the sky was clear. Also watched the international space go from horizon to horizon across the sky. It was a good night.

I tried to do this one time before, Halle bop or some jive
Went back to our big field.
Shut the truck off. Started smelling smoke, hot exhaust caught the grass on fire under my truck. Started up moved and had to run back and stomp all that chit out with just my boots
pretty much fixed me on star gazing
Now....if I had an El Camino with some AstroTurf in the bed and a fire extinguisher......and a younger Paula Jones
