Here’s one (this link directly generates the view from Delhi) – Your Sky

This is another, though far fancier: wikisky

Comet Lulin discovered in 2007, is nearing to closest approach to earth on Feb 24th. Website

Here is a rough map of Lulin’s position from the same website. It’s seen best in the morning.

The other comet is Comet McNaught. Again to be found near Venus at dusk, attained a mag of -2 which made it easili viewable by the naked eye. However it is now gone I guess.

Just a quick rough list of some manufacturers in India. Mostly from a list from a dude called Kartik.

I haven’t personally checked them all out, but I did buy my reflector from VC Mathur way back in 1994. Also Tejraj is a pretty reputed supplier in Bombay, and I checked out some Gnomon telescopes at Dilli Haat some months back – they appeared to be good too.
