Love the comet photo. Is the comet in the Northern Hemisphere and moving towards the Southern Hemisphere? I was looking at JPLs planet/comet diagram on SpaceWeather.com and it looks like the comet is going to drop down below the equator around December 17, 2018.
Thanks

It will be visible in the Northern Hemisphere for a while. It is moving higher not lower so should be a great opportunity too see a good comet (hopefully great!) in mid December. It will be right by the Pleiades so will be easy to find.
