yes it is visual atm (small scopes, binos), its in the order of around 8th mag, but diffuse-ish still, centre is slowly evolving tho. Thanks again Stuart, nice one. :-))
Remider, put brain in gear before answering posts...
As mentioned previously, it IS visual, as long as you have a scope, dunno about bino's, maybe from a dark site...
Definitely not a naked eye comet (which is what my befuddled brain was thinking this morning).
I can just make it out in the widefield shots of the area from the D100 piggybacked on the scope, but you have to know where to look, I can see it easily in the 8"LX200, but not the finderscope. Weather permitting I'll be trying for some prime focus shots with the digicam tonight.
You'll also need a clear SW horizon as it's low in the sky ATM.
