Hey Lewis, well done one Lemmon. It is a nice comet, getting the tail in binos is excellent.
Just one small point. The fifth moon you saw is most likely a background star. The 5th largest moon of Jupiter is (from memory) Himalia which is about 170kms wide, mo matter how good your binos, unlikely with 50mm aperture!
