Clouds this morning, so I will try again tomorrow to see Comet C2012 Panstars, which I have now been lead to believe is at Mag 8.3.

I looked at the conjection between Spica & Mercury last night. To the eye, they both looked white. However through the 102mm refractor, there was a very attractive colour contrast between the blue-white Spica and the yellow-orange Mercury. I have never thought of Mercury of having any colour when observing it, but the colour was quite obvious when alongside Spica.
