A fantastic Report!
I stepped outside with 10x50 binoculars at ~4:40am and very easily picked it out (now that I knew exactly where to expect it/look)
Like you say, tight, bright core, very obvious tail. looks much brighter than previous mornings, tail much easier to discern.
I had set up both rigs last night to try and image it this morning.
Once I'd adjusted my imaging methodology, I managed to get at least 10 minutes with each setup, both running at ~1.46"/px scale.
I'll setup the 127Mak as well for visual observation tomorrow morning
