Finally got a look at Lulin last night. There was a lot of cloud around so I just set up my Megrez 90 on the balcony. Managed to get some fleeting glimpses until the clouds opened up for a while around 11:30pm. No tail really visible due to light pollution but a nice coma with bright nucleus. Tried using a deep sky filter to improve the contrast but it also dimmed the view of course - no substitute for a dark sky.
Unlikely I'll be able to get away from the city in the next few days so that's probably the best I'll see of it. I'll just live vicariously through other people's photos!
