The events were announced in 5 local news papers. Saturday evening was clouded out but on Sunday there were some clear skies in the west. However, despite a number of binos scanning the sky and the horizon we were not able to locate the Comet through the Atlanta air polution. Despite this I kept shooting images, a total of 48. And guess what? My camera caught the comet on about 9 images, so the session was not a complete waste.
