Good one Rob,Good to see it was visible in the 8". Did you grab any images?
I was toying with the idea of trying for it in the 8" Parks but the dob base is a basketcase and I've no tube rings yet to mount it on the EQ6.
I needed that confirmation on the cores brightness.
I too found 60x to 120x..26mm unbarlowed/barlowed 2x gave the best views.Higher mags and the comet fades out.One of those events I wish I had some quality eps. Seeing here was absolutely brilliant and totally clear skies . Final views I had were around 12.30am in the 12" Parks and though it was lower in the sky I still had good views.
