Comet Holmes was magnificent last night, I looked at it for an hour with the naked eye, 12x60 and 20x80 binoculars and my 12" Dobsonian. The brightest part was like a large drop of water with a point on the south side and this was surrounded by a fainter U shaped area pointing north. The comet was about 40' across and much brighter than magnitude 3.4 M31 in Andromeda which was also visible. I have never seen anything like it.
