This comet is big! 252P for 22 03 2016.

Not sure how big the coma. is but probably at least two degrees that's easily visible in images.

Here's an image from my 8" F/4, larger than the field which is 1 x 1.5 degrees.
Details on image.

Cheers,

Justin.

Thanks David!

This one was taken in the narrow window between moon set and sun rise.
A real bummer you can't get a view of the comet.

Cheers,

Justin.
