Thanks for the heads up on this one Allan. I did see it was mentioned in S&T a few months back but no write up about it. I saw your post yesterday before heading out and made it a target for the night.
For anyone else make sure you have a look at the moment as it is quite good. Easily seen in the 10x50 finderscope so anybody with binos should find it no worries. I know the people with binos last night found it in theirs. I used my 10" scope and a 13mm ultima eyepiece and the comet cloud would have filled about 50% of the view. Spectacular to say the least and probably the biggest cloud I have seen on a comet in the last two years. Comet is visible also through the cloud as a bright spot in the middle.
A friend with his 60mm refractor was able to identify the comet in the centre. Very nice views.
Very photogenic as well with a couple of the guys taking exposures that looked quite good.
Happy hunting all.
