We tried to find it last night from suburban Auckland (Bortel 8). I could make it out with 8x40 binoculars but only because I knew exactly where it was and by moving the binos around to spot it with averted vision. Couldn’t find it with the scope finder and gave up after an hour. In hindsight I should have stood up the big rig and used plate solving to find it. That way I could have taken a photo. This one is definitely a hard to find comet in light pollution. Today it’s raining of course....
