Dave, things were looking iffy up here until about 20 after 8, then suddenly the cloud bank covering the comet just dissipated and the western horizon became crystal-clear. The first time during the entire comet apparition that it was so. I didn't grab any pics either, not enough time or inclination to set anything up other than my home-made 70mm f/4 spotter and a hand-held 15x70mm bino. If it's clear tonight I may break-out the 25x100mm bino. Jupiter and the moon were great in twilight but after that were behind high cirrus. I was surprised to find extensive overcast when I got up at 4 this morning. Looks like we were in the slot last night after sundown.

I saw the comet, but couldn’t get a photo. There were a few clouds.
