Turn your eyes to the sky for a two-for-one astronomical spectacle as the 'devil comet' finally creeps into view for the southern hemisphere just in time for the Lyrid meteor shower! ☄️
The Comet Pons–Brooks is visible to the naked eye, but only if you know where to look.

In addition, Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks will be seen nearby, below the Moon and a little to the right, a little further away than the distance of Jupiter. Binoculars or a telescope will probably be needed to see the comet.

I had a look at Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, probably for the last time as it becomes less favourably placed for northern hemisphere observers. I could see it plainly through 15X 70mm binoculars, but it was one binocular field width above a very bright red light on a crane. So I'm not going to try imaging it.
