Saw C/2013 A1 and 47 Tuc in the same FOV last night in cracker skies, great view with the tiny dim comet and the extravagance of the cluster. 4.5" f8 Tasco reflector and 21mm eyepiece, 43x. Movement was quite noticeable over the time of viewing. Short fan-shaped elongation to the north (dust tail) visible and star-like central condensation could be seen in moments of good seeing.

Cheers -
