wow! ive seen everything now lol - easy naked np from my light/moon saturated backyard 5d above my local horizon in a gap between trees - easy still around the +2.5 mag mark, naked eye. in binocs orange red in colour, just like reports and photos with, the brighter cc embedded the dimmer outer disc ball about 10 - 20 arcseconds in total size at a guess, in my 8x56 binocs - slightly bigger in the 20x80 binocs
observed clearly and well for nearly an hour
did look a little like a round red planetary nebulae, like some have described it
man we have had some weird comets in recent years - SW3/ great comet/ 2 naked eye comets at same time more than a few times, all sorts, makes the previous decades seem tame!
