Please excuse my ignorance but will comet Swan be in the same location next
weekend (11/4)? I will be camping then, far from city lights, and wonder
if it would be possible to see it still in So. Calif.

It moves a bit.. Click on the link below and scroll about 1/2 way
down to see a 'comet finder' image... It shows the relative
postion of the comet in relation to Bootes and Hercules over a series
of days.
I used it the other night and found Swan right away...
