I observed Comet Johnson last night with 115mm & 70mm telescopes.
Found it with the 70mm (Williams Optics F6.3) first using 17x. It could easily have been swept past, but I knew exactly where to look. It was better at 39x.
With the Vixen 115mm, at 60x, I had the impression of both a reduction in the size of the coma and the overall brightness. In the centre of the coma, my impression was that it was brightening to a star-like point, but somehow failed to make it.
