Yep. We saw it in the telescopes, the finders, in binoculars ald as it got darker naked eye. I was only able to see it naked eye by looking along the telescope tube. I would not have just picked it out. It's by no means a great comet, not even a good comet but it is a comet and now I have seen it. I went out to SPOC with my brother-in-law, George Van Komen. We had a good time. Later Kurt Fisher picked out Messier A & B on the Moon. I had not paid attention to them so it was a real treat. Thanks Kurt.

Nice crowd at spoc tonight.
A few thin clods but mostly clear,
The comet is showing a stubby tail against a dark blue sky in the Bogdan and Siegfried's refractor.
Looking better as it gets darker.
