I have been lucky with no cloud again this morning.
With the naked eye Lulin has the same magnitude as the star 48 Leonis which is 5.1.
With 20x80 binoculars the dust tail seems wider but shorter than yesterday, 1.8 degrees long in pa 110.
The attached SkyMapPro map shows the length of the tail on 26/2 at 2:15 am (UT+11) through 20x80s.
I also saw some galaxies in the area with 20x80s: M95, M96, M105, NGC 3371 (mag 10.9), M65, M66 and NGC 3628.
