LesBehrens and I observed the comet this morning. Despite the close proximity of the moon I was surprised at how easy it was to find in the finderscope.
It was Les' first comet, I think he expected to see more than a moon washed fuzz ball.
Tuesday nights close pass to Spica should make a nice wide field view especially with the moon rising a few hours later.
