Our power was out for three hours Tuesday night so I took advantage of the darker skies and viewed with comet with the 15 X 70 binos. It was a neck bender. The Double-Cluster, M35, M37, M38, M45, and NGC 7789 were also nice to view through the binoculars. The comet is still bright like a un-resolved globular cluster. And it was naked eye in Green Valley! Debbie

The comet is nearly at the zenith as I post this.
Seems a little fainter and perhaps a little smaller but still naked eye and very easy to see in even small binos.
Time to start taking pictures.
