Interested in seeing a comet? Not sure whether it's available to see everywhere.

Here in mid Michigan the skies are currently clear and I'm hoping to catch a view with my eyes of the comet. Maybe I have time to go but binoculars someplace but I'd have no idea where to go.
My sister saw it with a single lens earlier this week. If missed this week it will be approx 6800 more years before it comes around again.
NEOWISE is getting easier to see, but just for a short time.

I just checked and it would be visible here 50 minutes after sunset.

Good luck seeing it if you try. What did you search to discover that info?

@MarshaMusselman it could be found here, not just Neowise but other heavenly bodies that are visible.
A lot of ancient cultures consider a comet as a bad omen
Plan tonight's observation of astronomical events and Solar System objects visible from Awang, Philippines.

@louievill In Italy we consider a comet a bad omen and a leap year a very unlucky year.
That comes from ancient Romans believes, but I have the feeling they were not wrong.

i'd like to see comet,but it's hard to see.In Chinese History,Comet is jinx,it means the bad thing will come to this country.So when it came,the Chinese emperor would confess the guilt to the God and hoped God to forgive him.
But i think comet is a good thing,it comes every 76 years,i was born in 1993,so i only can see it in 2061.If i can live until that year,i wish i could see the beautiful comet

I would like to witness, but I think it is very difficult to get view from my place

I don't think I can see it from my apartment windows. I would have to go outside then and I would not know where to really see it, It would be interesting though,
