Not sure how big the coma. is but probably at least two degrees that's easily visible in images.

Here's an image from my 8" F/4, larger than the field which is 1 x 1.5 degrees.
Details on image.

Cheers,

Justin.

na its not thats just sky glow the moon is up you know ;) - wow - you would give up on this scope now and just use another wider view. Showers and cloud here but i am certainly enjoying the views from your hand.....

Thanks David!:)

This one was taken in the narrow window between moon set and sun rise.
A real bummer you can't get a view of the comet.

Cheers,

Justin.
