I viewed this with my Vixen 140mm refractor and tonight and did not see any starlike point. This tends to confirm my opinion from yesterday's observation that the point, which I saw was just a background star. I used 25, 18 and 14mm EPs.
The Comet was in the same field as the bright star Omicron Centaurus. However, as misfortune would have it, I became confused with my star hopping and it took me about 20 minutes to find the comet. If anything, having the bright star in the field also made peripheral viewing more difficult.
