In various warzones and shopping malls, this is still in debate.

Hard reality

i am more interested in the comet 41P/Tuttle-Giacobini-Kresak
should be visible on the nightsky this month, without a telescope

yet, since they have said that on the radio, we only had either cloudy sky, fog or bright moon or all together.

Thanks for this, I wasnt aware of this one , Mag 7.50 in the UK so it's definitely possible with my scope.

There appears to be another aswell - C/2015 V2 (Johnson), of similar Magnitude.

Hopefully I will be able to get out at the weekend and hunt for them, its a bit cloudy at the moment though so it doesnt look too promising.
