Hi all, those concerned with a mag for the comet, try finding a 4.5 or 5 star and defocus the star till its around 10' to 15' diameter and you'll see what the comet is supposed to look like. The mag estimates are not based on galaxies or globular clusters, but on defocussed stars!
Hope this helps trying to find out if you can see the comet in light polluted areas, if you defocus a mag 5 star to the diameter i mentioned and the light from the star is extiguished from view then you'll need to find a darker sky!
Cheers!
