Catch Winter's Comet Lulin
Comet C/2007 N3 (Lulin), discovered in July 2007, is the highlight comet of this season. It's predicted to reach about 5th magnitude in late February, and as of early February it's easily visible in binoculars -- if you have good viewing conditions. It may even become detectable with the unaided eye in a dark, moonless sky. In telescopes and images it's showing a dim tail and antitail.
