Just seen the comet tonight with the family from the local lookout. Fantastic, best ever ! Observed it with 7X50 binoculars, but the naked eye is best !
Tail is easily as large as full clench fist longitudinally at arms length. That translates to I think about 15 degrees, naked eye ! Best time with twilight was at about 8.45pm before the comet got too low. And that was with some high cloud around.
Can't wait until tomorrow night !
Rob.
