I have taken advantage of an unusually clear evening to view the Comet with a 127mm F9, ED Meade refractor.

Though my view was better than my last sighting, it is now a faint object. Many lesser globulars now appear brighter.

The coma seem to brighten towards the centre but there was no starlike point or tail to be seen.

The Comet is near Pi Hydra, about 1 degree above (East) and about 3 degrees to the north.
