Is Comet Neowise Visible in India ?
Well the question is " is comet neowise visible in India ? " so the answer is YES. Year 2020 is good year for Astro events . On 21st Jun we see Annular solar Eclipse. And after a month now v can see another astro event Comet Neowise. Comet is like a shooting star which has tail of sodium gas. So it is very rare astro event in my life. Before this one more comet seen in 1997 i think but unfortunately at that time i am not interested in it so i cant see it. But now i am eagerly waiting to see it. By 16th july it will be visible for aprox 20 days. In India it will be seen every evening after sunset. So approx time around 7:45pm to 9:15 pm. Comet neowise sets at 9:30pm. It has been seen in the direction of NW side at the angle of 20 degree of sunset. Also you can follow " SAPTARSHI NAKSHATRA " just left down from it.
Well The big problem for some parts of India is that There is a monsoon season. I am trying from last 5 days to see Comet Neowise but unfortunately I cant see it bcz of clouds. Every time from past 5 days on daytime sky is clear and at sunset some clouds came topically on NW side where Comet going to pass. I m hoping for best bcz i have more 7 days approx to see it and to photograph it. It was rare moment of my life to see Comet and capture it. Also go for dark area where pollution is very low and lights are not their. Found good spot like mountain or above from sea level so u can see it easily.
