Dion, Finding Comet Lovejoy is a snap. It’s easily seen. Much brighter than ISON. I’m sure you could pick it out quite easily with binoculars. I couldn’t see ISON in the little finder scope attached to my telescope, but Lovejoy clearly stood out in the finder scope. Also, just before dawn, Lovejoy is very high in the sky. ISON is getting lower and lower. Much lower in the wee hours of the morning than when you first observed it. Thanks for the comment, Dave
