Great app

I just wish it showed a trajectory so I could get an idea of when the comet will be visible for me.

Coffee well deserved.

This is what, the third big comet, this App follows? Works silent in the background👍

Thank you for making this app available

I am looking forward to searching for the comet in the sky with my 2 sons. This will make it much easier.

Just what I needed!

Had completely failed to find the comet (even with good binoculars) as it was so faint by the time we had good enough weather for it to be worth looking for it … but between this app and taking long exposure photos on my camera I was able to find it!

Thanks for making this useful app!
