Thanks for the ecouragement Les, i'll be keeping a good eye on it when i get a gap in the weather!
I remember imaging Comet Lulin (C/2007 N3) the August before it came to perihelion and noticed it had a small tail and it looked 'dusty' to me, so i knew it would be a nice one to view if it kept brightening but as you say you just never know what they'll do!
C/2009 P1 looked nicely condensed using averted vision but it was tricky as it was close to nearby stars as well and my seeing wasn't all that good, it may be a nice one as well.
Cheers!
