Just got back in from viewing the comet. Had a pretty good look at it for about an hour starting about 7:15 or so till about 8:30. It has such a blue hue ; really pretty, with a great shape to the tail. I did my observing from my east side Salt Lake county neighborhood with binoculars;
Pretty wasn't it. I had a little refractor on it and had some trouble making out the tail. Guess I should have started this hobby when I had younger eyes. And yes clear skies are much better than what we've been having lately. Seems like we always get good skies for a brighter moon and snow for the new moon.
