Yep Andrew, that was taken middle of the day.

A quick run home from work, and managed to get the comet again in daylight. Will take a bit of processing this time because high cloud was streaming across the Field of view.

Nobody has got it visually in daylight yet, but it wont be long.

Scott, its hard to predict how much effect forward scattering will be so its hard to predict. If there is minimal effect maybe mag -2 or -3.

1882 R1 passed just 0.006 AU from the sun and is possibly the brightest comet in recorded history.
