We saw the comet on Tuesday night. Nice fuzzy green blob. No tail visible, though. This with binoculars. Been cloudy since then or I’d try again.

I looked at Lovejoy last night from our “Dark Sky” site.

It looked like a basketball in my 32mm Plossl.

Could faintly see some of the tail close in, but, it faded quickly.
