See Comet NEAT (Near Earth Asteroid Tracking), C/2001 Q4 from 9PM until 10PM if it is clear every night Monday through Friday on 10th of May through the 14th of  May on the Roof of the Parking Garage at Fenton and King Street through a 10 inch aperture telescope.  Naked eye comets, telescope enhanced, are not very often visible.  The last two were Comet Hale-Bopp, C/1995 O1, in 1997 and Comet Hyakutake, C/1996 B2, in 1996.  Comets are a little uncertain, I have not seen it yet either when I write this and plan for this viewing.  Comets are often disappointing, but who knows, do the experiment and see!  Sometimes they are spectacular and most people miss them, because they did not go out and look up!  Do not expect to see anything like this, but this is the comet in April from Chile or Arizonia on May 8 here (remember the shutter speed of the human eye is about 1/10 of a second not 5  minutes, although the ASA of a dark adapted eye does exceed 400.
