I saw it last night from my yard in the middle of the SL valley, in 9x63mm binos when it was very close to the meridian. I was surprised that it was visible at all through the light pollution and ground fog. It appeared about the size and brightness of M13, maybe a tad larger. No sign of a tail. The good news is that the track is taking it higher so the views should get better in coming days. As with most faint fuzzies, dark skies are a requirement to get the most out of this comet. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
