Actually.... the 10th is better as there's about an hour and a half gap between astronomical sunset and the Moon rising causing interference. But you should still be able to see it anyway- I had no problem with it showing in my 9x50 finder (& binos) with the nearly full moon up plus my scope was next to the house by a window with the lights on. I got lazy- it was about to rain and I took a quick moment .

It's in Orion at the moment heading towards Taurus. So you could be good to go .
Let me know how you go!
If you're on fb, check out our facebook page- I do regular updates on the comet plus any other events coming up.
