I finally got a patch of clear sky in Brisbane last night.
10x60 binos used from suburbia. Still no luck seeing it despite knowing exactly where to look. I'm not surprised being mag +5 with looking north over the city lights.

I was hoping to catch it in binos before observing with my 10" scope, but cloud spread. I've seen quite a few mag +6 comets through my scope from my location and they're an easy catch, still managing to look great from light pollution. I'm back to a blanket of white sky today again grrr.
