Update:
Totally optomistically I tried to observe it in daytime today without success. Its far too early in the sequence but thought Id have a practice run. I set up the scope accurately polar aligned, put on solar filter, and aligened the Argo navis off the Sun. The comet is still a distance north, all I could see between clouds was blue sky. To test the setup I then dialled up venus, and it was near centre of field, so I am confident the comet was well in the FOV of my 16mm nagler on the 10 inch scope, but no sighting. Will keep trying day after day as it plunges sunward. Gee its closing on the Sun fast too.
