Haven't seen it yet. It has been too cloudy here, for the past couple of days.

Here's a nice pic of it (not mine!):
Skies have cleared here and the week ahead looks promising.

That is a beautiful picture which Mr. Zero posted.
Friday morning I got a look at it with binoculars.
Sky was somewhat cloudy, so even if I did have capable equipment, I couldn't have produced a photo like that. In my photos, a person might say "ok, yeah, there is a blurry star-thing, low on the horizon".
But I'm glad I got a look.
In a few days, I'll drive in the late afternoon to try to get a look.

It's been too cloudy in the AM here too. DFZ- whoa! That's it? That looks like more than 5 degrees...magic of photography...
Sunnyside, that's more what I expect to see. Is it pretty easy to pick out? There's a ton of light pollution here, I don't have my hopes up. I'm just always up at dawn anyway...

I am in the city here, so at 3am I drove out into the desert, merely an hour, to get away from the light pollution.null24 said:
Venus was dominant, but hazed over, so I knew it was a longshot.
That actually might be your bellwether - if you can see Venus pretty well, you should have a chance, I guess.
I scanned with naked-eyes, no luck, but put on the binoculars, and sure enough, there's a fuzzy tail. Even through the wispy clouds.
I'm glad I saw it, and I'll look again, but I can't take those 'magic' pictures, like you say.
The sunrise was spectacular, at least, with those wispy's.

I've seen it! But I don't have a good enough camera lens for it to be worth me taking any pictures of it. This is the first time, in all my years, that I've managed to see a comet with my own eyes (although my memories for quite a few years are distinctly hazy).
