As I type my 10 inch f5.6 newtonian is on the comet now, drive on of course. So close to the sun the sun is focussing just in from the tube but still clear of the secondary. Wow despite the bright sky the comet is brilliant, can easily be seen and focussed on in camera viewfinder. Utterly incredible sight. Now VERY condensed seemingly smaller even than Uranus now. Good news, its now south of the Sun so a sunset viewing is definately the go for seeing its tail now. Gee this is the 4th day running where Ive seen a daytime comet, and its been getting brighter all the time.
I will post up images on the other thread later on.
