C/2014 E2 (Jacques) by Gary Garzone, Longmont Astronomical Society.

Only about left week to view C/2013 V5 (Oukaimeden) which is now about magnitude 7 in brightness. It should reach between 5 and 6 by about mid-month but will disappear into morning twilight for those of us around 40 degrees North latitude. Comet C2014/E2 (Jacques) is now high overhead moving through Cygnus. It should be about magnitude 7 in brightness.
