Just come inside from observing McNought C/2008 A1.

Hard to find at first as this part of the sky doesnt have many brighter objects. But after using the 10X50 binos (just visable as a small blur) as finders, changed to what are rapidly becoming my comet watching binos, the 30X100's. Great stuff! A good seeable coma with the smallest hint of the nucleus. I'm trying to come to grips lately with size estimation, would about 8' across sound right?
