Finding Comet Holmes: First locate the easy-to-spot W of Cassiopeia. Draw an imaginary line from the star Gamma Cass down to Ruchbah, then extend the line downward about five times as far, and you'll be near Holmes. Note the triangle formed by Holmes and the bright stars Mirfak and Delta Persei. Sky shown mid-evening from mid-northern latitudes. Map credit: Starry Night Software
