Who needs a 'very large' telescope! Comet Chasing (http://cometchasing.skyhound.com/) deem this one is suitable for viewing with a very large telescope, which they seem to define as >16" aperture.... Starry Night Pro reports a magnitude of 13.

Captured with my 8" f/4, Atik 420m 5x2min binned 2x2, luminance only.... cloud and operator fatigue interrupted.... Its noisy, faint, and not a great pretty pic, but its there... :)

Thanks Dave - but with plate solving, finding it is the easy bit! :)
