For those needing a break from the Painted Bunting.There's a pre-dawn comet iin the sky..Not sure if that visible with light pollution but maybe with binoculars and dark sky from remote spot of Bklyn Queens, a possibility..Comet or no, the morning sky is gorgeous with Venus, Spica, Mars, Moon and Jupiter in ascending order.
