I just found it again from my back yard. Not perfect seeing. I can just
make out the Milky Way but only one star in the bowl of USA minor is
visible. I make it out to about 8 seconds of arc.


8 _minutes_ of arc?


That's very small?
Few people here saying the comet is very large.
Maybe the brightest part, the nucleus of the comet is 8 arc minutes?
