Very nice comet. Viewing at 150x in the 20". Bright with a lovely wide halo. Hint of a tail, but transparency is a bit dodgy here tonight so not really sure.
It was forming a nice obtuse triangle with 4 fairly faint stars which made it easy to see movement. Coming back to it 10 mins later it had clearly moved on.
