Hi guys,
I observed 103P last night, it was pretty faint although it was 4 degrees above my northern horizon.

I made it out at mag 9.3, DC=2, and dia= 7'
The rising moon may had a little to do with contrast and this observation has not been corrected for atmospheric extinction at the altitude.

A report this morning from the northern hemisphere reads a mag of 7.6, DC=3 and Dia= 16'.

Cheers!
