Each morning, Comet Pojmanski will rise a little higher and become easier to see from northern latitudes, but at the same time it’s fading. On March 1st it’s only 8° above the horizon at the start of dawn as seen from 40° north latitude, but the comet gains altitude every day: to about 20° on March 8th. By then, however, it will be starting to fade, probably dimming to magnitude 6.2 by March 11th and losing 0.1 magnitude per day thereafter.
The information above is taken from Sky and Telescope.
I am going to observe Pojmanski tomorrow about 90 minutes before sunrise. I just updated my precious Meade 8″ LX90 with the latest database!
