SAN ANTONIO – KSAT viewers are sharing amazing photos of a comet over San Antonio.

The comet can be seen over San Antonio about 40 minutes after sunset. It can only be seen for a short time at dusk.

All you have to do is look west, just above the horizon. You can find Venus (looks like a really bright star) and then look a little to the right.

If you view it through binoculars or your phone camera, that can help!

Make sure to take it all in while you can -- the comet will only be visible over San Antonio through Oct. 18. Some clouds may be around Thursday & Friday.

If you’d like to send in your pictures of the comet, we’d love to see them! Be sure to post to KSAT Connect, and you might just see your pics on KSAT!
