Great app

I just wish it showed a trajectory so I could get an idea of when the comet will be visible for me.

Perfect!

Just what I needed! I was trying to figure out what this green “star” was over the roof of the neighbors house was as it wasn’t really moving it’s position. (These are new homes and the view it from the commode in the early hours.) I though I was maybe hallucinating from COVID, but I was pleasantly surprised to learn that it was a comet!! This app helped me confirm EXACTLY which one it is. Thank you!!
