I tried to find this last night, with a CCD camera.

No luck at all, perhaps a very faint smudge in the appropriate area.

I could see clearly two mag 17 galaxies nearby with the exposures I was taking, but no comet :-(

It was too windy to take really long exposures, I was limited to 2 minute maximum, even then had to chuck out a majority of them.

Equipment used Meade 10" RCX (F8), SBig ST-10XME binned 3x3.

How good are the orbital calculations for this one?

Cheers
Stuart
