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.
