I spent a couple of hours outside looking for Comet Lemmon. I set up a DSLR with 300mm lens to take photos and locate it first, then found it with 10x50 binoculars. After an hour of fruitless searching with a 8" dobsonian, I brought out a Mizar 80mm refractor on alt-az mount and eventually managed to line it up and view it at about 30x magnification - just a smudge, but a bit bigger than through the binoculars.
