If anyone checks my blog over the weekend, look for Comet ISON. It will reach its closest point to the Sun on Nov. 28.  As it gets closer and closer to the Sun, it gets brighter and is now visible to the naked eye.  However, "...It is becoming more and more difficult to observe low near the east-southeast horizon in the dawn sky. Still, observers with access to a clear horizon may be able to follow ISON for about another week."

"East-southeast" means that if you were standing on the bus ramp at Rippowam, you'd want to look in the direction of AITE.
