Hi every one,

Any tips on observing the comet? I was searching for about 2 hours last night before I gave up.

According to its location on stellarium I was looking in the right place and it should of been in my FOV but couldn't identify it (or at least couldn't distinguish between it and a star) The location on stellarium seemed to slightly differ from one of the online sources, has any one else had this issue?

My equipment and location may also be the reason why I cant see it. I am looking through a cheap 76/700 in light polluted sydney skys. I thought it still be identifiable though?

Thanks for your help,

Greg
