Hi all, my last observation the comet was at mag 4.8. So it's well within reach of binoculars and even naked eye, although the moon will affect naked eye viewing from here on in, it reaches closest approach to EARTH around 13th June. Then it will rise in the dawn sky at sunrise around 14th/15th and rise approx 15 to 20 mins earlier each day........
We will see this comet early in the morning throughout its perihelion passage on the 23rd June, this will also be moon affected....
