This comet is expected to glow around 10th or 11th magnitude, so dark skies will be needed. The best time to catch comet K5 will be during the first 2 weeks of December.During the second week of the month, try to spot K5 passing near the Whirlpool Galaxy M51.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial; min-height: 14px; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span><br></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">* For information, orbital elements and ephemerides on observable comets visit the Observable Comets page from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (<a href="http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/iau/Ephemerides/Comets/index.html"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px; color: rgb(4, 51, 255); ">http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/iau/Ephemerides/Comets/index.html</span></a>).</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial; min-height: 14px; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span><br></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">* For more information about Comets, visit Gary Kronk's <a href="http://Cometography.com">Cometography.com</a> web page at <a href="http://cometography.com/"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px; color: rgb(4, 51, 255); ">http://cometography.com/</span></a>.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial; min-height: 14px; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span><br></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"><b>Eclipses</b></span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">* No eclipse</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial; min-height: 14px; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span><br></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"><b>Observational Opportunities</b></span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">* Jupiter dominates the evening sky all month.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">* Venus, Mercury and Saturn are prominent in the morning sky before sunrise.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">* The Geminids meteor shower peaks on the morning of the 13/14th.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial; min-height: 14px; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"><b></b></span><br></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial; "><span style="font-family: Helvetica; "></span></div></body></html>
