There's a naked eye comet! Comet Holmes has been around for a while. Edwin Holmes, an amateur astronomer from England, discovered it in 1892 during a flareup similar to the one it underwent on October 24, 2007. The comet went from a 17th magnitude object (requiring a big scope and a dark sky) to a 2nd magnitude object (bright enough to see with the unaided eye even with a full moon and light pollution). Here are some simulated images to help you find Comet 17P/Holmes.

Comet Holmes is in Perseus. For anyone at 40 degrees north or higher latitude, it's always above the horizon. And for the rest of the northern hemisphere, it's in the right place to be up most of the night anyway. It's highest in the sky about an hour after local midnight.

Many, if not most, southern hemisphere sky watchers can see Comet Holmes too. It becomes a big challenge south of 30 degrees south and impossible south of the 40 degree mark. Look in the north about an hour after local midnight. The further south you are of the equator, the more essential a clear northerly horizon is for the view.
