Scott, I notice you mention that the comet seemed to get brighter during the afternoon in the imaging section. I wonder if the forward scattering effect is now starting to kick in? The prediction by Joe Marcus suggests 0.7 mag enhancement by 0 UT tommorrow which would be putting the comet close to mag -4.0.
I notice John Bortle posted that the comet was still quite a bit fainter than West's this morning (our time) but its brightness record will problably fall!
