Yay....happy to report the fuzzball was in my Galaxsee, a little after 8.30PM, before the moon rose. Took some work to find it - just near 110Her and a faint double, with HIP92032 on the opposite side, and Her111 just out of the view. Sky was a bit murky, with the clearing clouds, and a dewey feel to the atmosphere.
Kids weren't all that thrilled (tough judges....) probably not seeing a tail made them a bit less enthusiastic about the faint smudge in the finder. Whatever, a comet's a comet - and look forward to it brightening in the coming months.
Love to see it under dark skies, though!!!
Good work Justin.
