Sky and Telescope, once again this week, published their excellent track of
Comet NEAT.  Over the next few days, Comet NEAT can be found near the
bright star Procyon, "His princely following" or "Redeemer" (bottom of page).

Comet NEAT is now in the western sky right after dusk for observers
at midnorthern latitudes. In the next few days it will rapidly climb higher
into better view. The blue 10° scale bar at top right shows the width of
your fist held at arm's length. (The dates plotted here are civil dates
for North America.) Sky & Telescope illustration.

   Gemini, The Twins, are two human figures seated together in loving
   closeness. This could portray the Marriage of the Lamb. (See Marriage
   Supper of the Lamb.) The Decans are Lepus, Canis Major, and Canis
   Minor. Lepus is the mad hare, the enemy under Orion's feet. Canis Major,
   Sirius, the Great Dog could prefigure the Prince coming in His glory. Then
   Canis Minor, Procyon, The Second Dog, would be his princely following.
