Thanks, though this guide only works for this particular comet. Every new one will take a different path through the sky, unless it used to be one comet that broke up into pieces.
Holmes was a great surprise. I was even able to see it from my apartment in Los Angeles. Lulin is no longer visible to the naked eye, but it will still show up in binoculars. Check out the Astronomy Picture of the Day for February 25 for charts that extend beyond what I have here.
It's still visible, but you definitely need binoculars at this point. Google "Astronomy Picture of the Day" and look for the one for February 25. There are some charts linked at the bottom that go beyond the dates I list here.
