I observed Comet PanSTARRS with the same telescope that I observed Comet Calalina with this morning. (Vixen 102mm ED; 30x).
PanSTARRS was much fainter, probably about 2 magnitudes fainter than Calalina, and slightly less than half as wide (so about 1/5 of the area). There was no hint of a tail. It was properly dark when I observed (8.20ish). I could not see the Comet with 10x50 binoculars.
