Hey all, this morning, without intending to, I woke up.. just before sunrise. So I thought, what the hell, ill go try find this comet. My south eastern views was obscured by about 5-10 degrees of hill, other than that it was a perfect morning. I saw Jupiter and the crescent Moon, unfortunately no comet (its hard to find a ~-3 magnitude object without knowing exactly where it is)

Last night it was very cloudy out west but i caught a glimps in a gap between the clouds and the ocean just before it set. It wasn't a very overwelming sight though, it was only a slight twinkle in the sky. Caused by the thick atmosphere and probably a distant cloud. I hope this clear weather holds out tonight so I can get a twilight view!
