Tried Saturday morning - clouded out
Don't despair
Tried again this morning - lovely clear skies. I tucked myself away behind a wind break building with a clear view to the East over the Pacific and found it quite quickly in my 20x80 binoculars. Very distinctive. No colour (when's the next visibly green comet coming our way?). Averted vision brought out a clear tail.
I couldn't see it naked eye, directly or with averted vision.
Thanks for the links and directions Glen.
