Had a quick look at the dynamic duo this morning (monday) frag C looked quite good, considering how close to the 23.7 day old moon it was. some tail bright condensed head. Had very bad problems with internal reflections from the moon in the handheld 20x80's, and fast moving local cloud - so B was a challenge as a result.
Only glimpsed it before clouds ect. won and its outer coma appeared as a very dim but decent sized patch/ball of light, with no tail seen. They are certainly not speccy comets - but there is two of them
neither appeared to be certainly not any brighter than 6th mag, certainly less than that even.
