I'm not good at estimating magnitudes of objects, paticularly diffuse ones like comets. All I can say is that I can find it much more easily than Tempel from last year. As it's low in the sky and parked over an outlying city (Geelong) for me the light pollution is also pretty bad, and I can still see it easily in the 8" SCT, it has to me around mag 8-9. I usually struggle to see galaxies that are of similar size at mag 9.
Cheers
