Observed and imaged 46P last night from a darkish site near Jamberoo, very windy at times with strong gusts. Had to delete about 20% of subs because of wind shake. Not sure about resolving the nucleus in the 9 X 60 binos but the coma is large and fuzzy. Haven't processed the images yet but in 90 & 120 sec subs, was sure that I could make out the ion tail.
Could also notice the comet moving , relative to the background stars, from the early subs to the later ones, over about a 2 hour period between 11:00pm and 1:00am.
