I set the alarm for 4:50AM in an attempt to catch the beastie. No real need though as HRH Liz was awake at 4 waiting for the alarm to go off. Jupiter was the best I have seen at this hour of the morning, I think I may become an early morning convert. The comet was easily visible in the LX (8 inch) as a fuzzy blob just over the horizon and as time wore on a slight hint of a tail became apparent, although at first I wasn't sure that it wasn't imaginary. Unfortunately this is as good as I will probably see it without venturing away from the city as light pollution is bad from my viewing location to the east.
