Just observed 46P earlier tonight from our semi dark site, about 5.5 visual mag. Thought I could just make it out naked eye and a fellow member said the same Through 9 X 60 binos it was an easy catch and at a rough guess appeared about a 1 deg. coma. Hope to get some images from an dark site on Monday evening.
