YEAH!!! Finally, found the little blighter.
Up 4am and down to the beach for a few pics, and trying to spot comet in binoculars, but no luck. Back to house and dragged Dob down to the road and set up. Was worried as comet sinking lower and lower, and I could just see the area above my rooftop. Also incoming cloud from all directions. Popped in the 25mm Plossl, and voila, there it was!!! Nice rounded blob, no tail seen.
Back down to beach, for more pics of Mercury.
Will post some images when I get home from work later this arv.
Thanks Chris and Rob.
