Where to watch the comet in central NH?
 
Hey All,

There's a comet that is visible from New England with the naked eye, which is going to be at it's brightest on March 10th. It should be viewable for about half an hour around sunset.

I'm wondering... where would be a good spot to observe it from? Ideally somewhere high up where you can see the horizon, and is easy to access from a car (with possibly a small hike).

Thanks.

Rollins State Park parking lot on Mt. Kearsarge in Warner, NH. The road in is not plowed so check it early for it will be a 3.5 mile walk. I've watched several lunar eclipses from here.

Comet should be visable tonight, 45 minutes after sunset, in the west just below the cresent moon.
