BTW watch out for the comet in the evening sky - easy in binoculars if the clouds ever go away again.

Do you have any more details? What where etc.

Western sky after sunset and still in twilight so it is a bit tricky to
see with the naked eye unless you look in exactly the right place.
Fairly easy in binoculars once you find it the first time. Shows up much
better in photographs. A rather pretty picture from last week online at
Cloudbait obs shows thin crescent moon in the same field.

It is a bit harder to see the tail than that photo implies.
Cameras are better than human eyes at seeing low contrast detail.

Presently close to the bottom left star in the square of Pegasus and
rising slowly to be in Andromeda by the end of the month.

You want to catch it before it sets which limits how dark the sky is.
