Looking for a comet to observe , for beginners and the experienced alike? Comet C/2012 K5 (LINEAR) is here for the taking.
K5 is currently moving through Ursa Major and is shining at about magnitude 7.7. It is forecast to slightly brighten over the next few days as it moves out of the Big Bear and into the constellation Lynx. It should reach it's maximum magnitude around DEC 29-30.
If you want to see it, K5 can be found between the stars Dubhe and Muscida in Ursa Major from now until DEC 27, and then making a run towards Lynx afterwards.
