We observed 46P from Cambroon Observatory lst night through "Zamar". 35MM Pan giving 72 x mag and a FOV of 0.96 degrees. Comet 46P was contained in the FOV. It had a very tight and bright coma diffusing to an outer halo of about 30 arc minutes. A tail was evident by way of a significant assymentry with the outer halo being almost non existant to one side..
Easily visable in the 10 x 50 finder . Naked eye showed a very dim nebulous haze around Mag 6 would be my guess.
