Comet Machholz

I've just been outside at 22:30 UT and comet Machholz is visible
in 8 x 42 binos. It is faint but findable even with the Moon at
the closest separation it can get this month. Not much evidence
of a tail under such bright skies but, as they say, watch this space!
It is two FOVs to the right of Rigel.

Festive Felicitations to one and all.
