No tail visible, coma elongated NW to SE, Not visibile naked eye as Zodiacal light interferes with naked eye obs.
OBMY, I managed to get some rough widefield shots of C/2007 N3 this morning. The full frame (taken at 55mm, Canon 400D piggybacked) appears to show a faint trace of the Zodiacal light that you refer to. Or it could be my imagination, LOL!
