For what it's worth, here's a sketch of what 12P/Pons-Brooks looked like to me last night, 30 April 2024, in 8x42 binoculars. Quite faint with just over a degree of ion tail visible. Details on sketch. Also my shot from last night showing the photographically-spectacular ion and dust tails which are detectable now as the comet moves into darker skies.

Cheers -
