viewed lemmon in my 16" dob for around 2 hours last night.using naglers with that 82 deg fov.the comet glowed beautifully with the centre core very tight and bright emitting out and fading into a mottly looking g/c with the faintest hint of a tail...and through the occasional excellent seeing conditions the tail really did start to show it's self and was able to move the scope to follow it.the comet looked absoultly amazing in the eyepiece and was very happy.to the south i pick up light pollution from coffs and color while not noticeable in my eyes,i did see shades of grey/green on occasion but faintly..
tryed to see it early this morning but it was hiden behind the trees as to was panstarrs..
well worth the look for those that haven't yet.......
