Had another more concentrated look at Loneos F1 last night allowing the sky to darken as much as possible first, about 8:15pm WDST. This was after some horrible cloud banks disapeared just at the right time.
Through the 30X100 binos could easily see the coma and a hint of nucleus, and right at the limits of my visual range I could just make out a thin stream of the tail leading up and to the north (towards Antares).
Hi Rex, Loneos is a little brighter than M4 but much smaller. If you were looking directly below Antares that was M4. Loneos F1 is a similar distance as between those two but off to the south and in between forming a triangle.
All three of the above could almost fit in the FOV for the 30X100's (2deg.)but not quite.
