Well well, Lulin has been elusive for me twice now... Had a 15min gap between the trees and considering the Eskimo nebula was there at mag 10, how did i miss Lulin?
PS: Using stellarium with some data i copied and pasted - I'm resolving to this being incorrect (feeling much better with that unlikely conclusion already )
I looked at Lulin with 20x80 binoculars last night before moonrise at about 8:30 AEDT. The comet was about magnitude 8, no bright core and a very short tail. The comet in 20x80 binoculars was similar to M44 (mag 3.1) to the naked eye.
