I just saw Comet Lulin from my front porch in SLC, using a nice pair of binos Chuck Hards sold me about four years ago. It was fairly close to a star that Starry Night Pro says is named Zaniah, in the SE. The comet was just a dim fuzzball, but could be easily seen with averted vision. I saw no color and no tail. Undoubtedly it's much better at a dark site. -- Joe
