[Pack]

Sat on the beach near Glenelg facing west from sunset to approximately sunset + 15mins.

Comet easily visible in a standard 7x50B, barely visible in the 10x25B, not visible to the naked eye - at least for the 3 of us who were looking. Sky was clear of clouds but a strong haze low on the horizon made it difficult to pick out much detail. In binoculars a diffuse central spot was clearly visible with a fan shaped tail - which appeared very short probably severely limited by poor contrast due to the haze & bright sky. Mercury was not visible in any binoculars, but Venus was above most of the haze and was clearly visible in binoculars (but not naked eye during the observation period).
