>> Remembering NEOWISE
>> Explanation: It was just last July. If you could see

> Could you see it from your vantage point in BC?

Probably but I never went looking for it.

> I suppose that with all the smoke in the air the opprtunities were few?

The skies are smoky here now but last July would have been better.

I haven't made the trip in a while but I have driven a star gazing friend on a trip about 30 minutes out of town away from all the lights. He has a small telescope that he connects to his laptop and once he has it adjusted he can zero in on just about whatever you'd like to look at.
