# 19. Neil: thanks for your reply, but I was able to see Comet McNaught in January 2007 here in Finland. It was seen both in Southern and Northern hemisphere. So what’s the difference in visibility between these two comets?

Good-ish sky (eventually), on the 29th, but still no sighting. There was a pesky horizon cloud out to sea, just obscuring the comet, (I presume). And so to bed.

The 30th, was clouded out totally.

So for tonight’s prospect, (well, tomorrow morning), I shall live in hope. So far this arvo, it has been brighter, and a distinct possibility it will be clearer in the morning.

#17 Archie:
No, you can’t see the comet in Scandinavia. Why? You answered your own question – “visibility in the south”! Because it’s in the southern hemisphere of the sky! It’s near the Southern Cross, which you obviously can’t see from Scandinavia.

Likewise, Sydney, Australia has had clouds. Hopefully later it may clear.

Is it possible to see the comet in the northern hemisphere, in Scandinavia? If not, why? Everybody talks about visibility in the south but don’t mention anything useful for us living here in the north.

I’m in Pretoria, SA, and it has been cloudy every single morning since Lovejoy has passed the sun. Quite frustrating.
