Comet 252/P near LMC with binos

I saw the topic with the photo of the comet near the LMC. Then I looked it up on the chart on Skysafari (updated minor body data) and SS displayed a mag +10.8, so not an option for my 16x50.
I looked it up with the ED110 and it was clearly visible despite the gibbous moonlight. Then I grabbed my 16x50 and it was clearly visible as well so it should be well brighter than +10.8.

Did anyone see it with binos ?
