I had good views of 46P on Wednesday evening from here at Tinderbox. I think I liked the binocular view the most - only 6.5X magnification but sharp 9deg true FOV which certainly confirmed it’s large size and gave it context amongst the interesting star field.
Spent some time closer up with a telescope. It is certainly moving quickly. I could detect a slight change in position between 45 minute observations.
