Thanks Brent & Rick, I will take a look at my binoculars to see how to adjust the prisms.

Tonight, another reasonably clear night - I was able to eventually find the comet in my 8x50 finderscope, then was able to view it on my Meade 10" SCT. I used a WO DCL-52 eyepiece which has a huge eye relief - in fact I had to view it from over an inch above the eyepiece. I then thought I would try prime focus photography, but had trouble because the camera (Sony Nex5) shows only a blank screen. I had to move to another brighter star, then taking 10second photos managed to get it close to focus to be able to see it on the screen. Once that was done, finding the comet again took some minutes, but eventually I got it.

The stars are not quite round, so looks like focus is a bit out, but also my polar alignment on the GM-8 isn't right either. A 10 second shot at iso1600. Next photo is at iso6400.
