A trifecta of interest is happening this weekend up in the big blue.

I saw this on the news today. Totally staying up (or waking up) to try and catch a glimpse of the comet.
Both the partial lunar eclipse and comet will present viewing challenges.
For the partial lunar eclipse, the mid-eclipse (ie. maximum shadow coverage) occurs at 6:44 PM. This puts the moon a mere 7 degrees above the horizon. Should make for a pretty sight if one has an unobstructed view. (http://www.skyandtelescope.com/astronomy-news/feb-10th-penumbral-lunar-eclipse/)
For Comet 45P/Honda-Mrkos-Pajdusakova, the comet is currently not predicted to reach naked-eye visibility. Dark skies and a telescope or binoculars will be needed. (http://www.skyandtelescope.com/astronomy-news/comet-45p-closing-in-for-weekend-flyby/)
