Thank you for the excellent instructions! As a simpleton who can usually identify little more than the Sun, Moon, Big & Little Dippers / Bears and Orion, I appreciate your assistance.
There is quite a bid of light pollution to the east, so I'm going to wait a bit - and probably harass the loop-poopers for an hour or two - while I wait for 17P to ascend high enough over the trees and lights to be clearly visible.
