The Zwicky Transient Facility, aka ZTF, in Southern California discovered the dramatic object in March.
This makes now the prime time to give a shot to see it for yourself.
NASA says it should be visible from dark locations with minimal light pollution.
Taken with just 250mm focal length for a field similar to binoculars.
It was easy in binos but barely naked eye from a dark site.
By far the easiest way to locate it is with a site likeIn The Skyor the excellent mobile appStellarium.
If you happen to get any great photos, yo share them with me on Twitter,@EricCMack.
