lucky i attempted my first
dark sky site NE viewing of this comet (i am still in self imposed minimal observing effort mode for a urban dweller for a year or two) last night at the end of a day/evening trip down Fleurieu Peninsula, as the clouds have come rolling in just now, and the moons back by end of week, was certainly a little marginal NE not a glaringly obvious little ne comet, altho it had it moments, but an easy averted vision object for sure, - more condensed 8P in early jan was easier ne object at mag 6, than this one which i roughly found to be around mag 5.4 - 5.5 and close to half a degree in dia. ne when at best, W1 moved nearly 2 deg since my view on sat night. 16th? ne comet for me i think
and yes its not an urban ne comet, but as they say, you cant be half pregnant?
further down the road, tried for first time, the made famous locally on net by P1 in jan 2007, DSS at Myponga reservoir, at top of Myponga hill at 400mtrs or so, wow amazing how good that is so close to southern burbs aldinga ect., elevation, even a little, rules! and a hill blocking the LP too
