Evening viewing of Hale-Bopp
Evening viewing of Comet Hale-Bopp from Albuquerque, N.M, latitude 35.1 degrees north.
"Best viewing time" means the time after dusk has completely faded, so that it no longer obscures the comet.
Times vary by a few minutes, in the rest of New Mexico. Comet viewing times and sunrise and sunset times for other locations are available from the U.S. Naval Observatory.
"Degrees above horizon" indicates the comet's height at the "best viewing time" indicated. A fist held out at arms length is about 10 degrees high.
