I think you're right, Justin. That night and the night before it was an easy naked eye object all the way to the horizon. I saw it again March 6th and it was noticeably fainter. Maybe an outburst, or being in a darker sky helped?

Really enjoyed those nights when both comets were within binocular sweeping distance. May never see that again... but here's hoping!
