nothing a good as Halebop, that comet was amazing to watch in the night sky but this year does look decent to see a few wanderers with good binocs or amature telescopes.

As 2014 opens, most of the half dozen comets traversing the morning and evening sky are faint and require detailed charts and a good-sized telescope to see and appreciate. Except for Comet Lovejoy. This gift to beginner and amateur astronomers alike keeps on giving. But wait, there’s more. Three additional binocular-bright comets will keep us busy starting this spring.
