That's my comet. You can see it, well I don't know their names. Remember that W? Near that. But sort of to the left and little bit down. But it will be noticeable because it looks different, kind of a fuzzy looking object. It's pretty awesome and I call it my comet because, well you wouldn't believe me. Have fun searching for it! And bring your love out with you, if you have one!

Look in the constellation Perseus near the bright star Mirfak, which is the brightest star in that constellation. Holmes forms a triangle with that and another nearby fainter star. It's obviously fuzzy to the unaided eye and shows structure in binoculars, so go forth and observe it now because nobody knows how long it will remain bright enough for amateur astronomers to see.

Go to this web address
www.skyandtelescope.com/
It includes clear instructions and a couple of star maps. You won't have any trouble.
BTW, make certain you are outside of city glare. I was disappointed when using binoculars. But it was very obviously not a star, it wasn't twinkling.
