    Not yet. Temps are increasing in the NE U.S. which means more water vapour, less transparency.

    It gets brighter, but the longer wait, it gets closer to the sun in the morning, washing it out!

    Try to find the comet early morning today with my 50 mm bino, but no luck!
    It's in Leo's head!
    Too much light pollution around me!

    Easy binocular object for me in the early morning twilight sky. Been
    taking pictures.

    WOW!
    Nice photo of the comet, tail and everything?
    Maybe you live more North than me, so comet rise higher?
    I'm at 38 parallel.
    I'll try again tomorrow!

    I'm at 38� also. I'm shooting it right at the moment, 5:30am local, at
    about 8� altitude (started at 4�) with a portable setup, DSLR on
    refractor. Sky is still pretty dark. The other images were from my
    observatory, and the wall blocks everything below about 15�, so I had
    to wait later and the sky was definitely getting light.

    Right now I can't see it with my eyes, but it's a pretty obvious fuzzy
    spot through binoculars.

    Thx!
