Tried last night but saw nothing where Stellarium (with comet data downloaded) said it should be - using a 10" SCT. However, nearly a degree away in Dec, and with pretty similar RA, I saw an unidentified "diffuse' object with bright core, but no distinguishable tail. Colour seemed about right going by people's images.

Does anyone know if Stellarium's data is accurate?

Tonight (sky permitting) I'll try using Stu's chart.
