This data was taken December 1 and December 4, 2018. This comet is
expected to be seen by the unaided eye by the middle of December and is
easily seen in binoculars and a telescope right now.

I had no problem seeing it a few nights ago with averted vision. Found
it first in binoculars (huge and bright), then visually. So yeah, as
it brightens, it's likely to be an easy naked eye object under
reasonably dark skies.

My star chart shows 69/p Taylor another comet is close to 46/p?
69/p mag 13, much harder to see, I think!


00:30 December 16th the sky cleared after rain. Still a bit hazy but the
comet is still not visible with the naked eye from my back yard. OK in
10x50s but not much better than a few days ago.
