First look at Comet C2012 K5 (Linear)

Clear skies once gain in Melbourne last night so I thought I would try and track down Comet C/2012 (Linear) using my Andrews 15x70 Ultra binos.
Took quite some time to pinpoint it but I was really thrilled when it came into view.

It's very faint at the moment and I am not sure how to describe the size other than to say it appears to be approximately the same as viewing NGC5128 in the 4.24 FOV of the 15X70's.
Its position at the moment is close to NGC1746 OC in Taurus.
