Nice!
So faint?


Have you seen it naked eye yet?


No. It was easy in binoculars last week and about half the size of the
full moon in 11x80s but now with the extra moonlight it is harder to see
the coma around the nucleus. It has been wet and windy since then.

Is there anything interesting going on close in near the nucleus?
