Rotorua star-gazers have access to one of the best locations in New Zealand to spot Comet Lovejoy with Ngongotaha named one of the top spots for viewing the night sky.
The recently discovered comet is one of the brightest to pass through our skies in years, and in areas of low light it's possible to view without expensive equipment.
Rotorua Astronomical Society president Ken Blackman said it was possible for anyone with very keen eyesight to spot it with the naked eye.
"You can definitely see it with binoculars, but if you're a beginner you probably won't find it. You'd need someone with a bit of experience to point it out for you."
Mr Blackman explained that Lovejoy could be found to the left of the Orion constellation. There was also a guide to spotting the comet on the society's Facebook page.
