It's still visible even with a 100% moon, but nowhere near it's full glory of course.

Weather conditions have been horrible. I nearly didn't bother this morning. It only stayed clearish for about 100 seconds. Took a shot anyway just to show it in full moonlight and through clouds. This comet would be quite a looker at high elevation in dark skies. Maybe in another week or two when the moon is weaker.

Only 43 frames at 96x frame integration mid gain. 6 inch f5 Newtonian.
