I didn't see any visual sign of tail on the 6 inch scope but typically tails are usually very faint.

How come you lose the comet in the next 7 days? From Mackay I calculate the comet will actually gain some height as it heads north, although the moon will interfere. The comet appears to lose height on charts but they don't take into account that everything rises 4 minutes earlier each day.
