C/2009 R1 McNaught

Hi all,
I made out R1 McNaught at mag 8.5 through my 7x50 Bins, diameter of 3'.
It will be slowly sinking into the morning twilight before we lose sight of it, it should be brightening as it does so.
So those with good dark skies now is a good time to get out and have a look!
It doesn't seem to be showing any tail yet, it will be a bright fuzzy patch through a telescope but still dim through bins.

Cheers!
