Mainstream media did the same thing with E3 ZTF.. oh the green comet is whizzing by, get out and see it before it's gone.!
When it was near Mars it was just a faint smudge in my 8 x 42 binos. Told people not to worry about trying 5o see it without a good pair of binos.

From this weekend on should get a darker sky before the moon pops up.
I found it easier to see it last night with a slightly darker sky while the moon was low.
The tail showed up better in my short exposures with a 200mm lens

Good pics Rob, you are up against the odds with all that smoke!
