Nice capture Chris. It is satisfying to catch this comet.

It should be in reach of a 5" scope now.

I was able to visually observe it with binoculars and my 12" Dob last night under dark skies with good seeing. It was extremely faint in the 7 x 50 binos, but it helped me to locate it with the telescope.

I am guessing that it is approx mag 11 at the moment.
