You’re more into it than I am. I have an old 60mm Meade refractor but I haven’t even set it up in years. Once in a while I’ll use binoculars, in fact just this morning I got out the binocs to look for that comet. Didn’t see it.

The comet should be brightening up some more in the next few weeks as it gets closer to the Earth. If you can mount your binoculars on a tripod it will help. Keep trying- I bet you’ll see it!

My first telescope was the same as yours, it was a Monolux 60mm refractor. In 2004 I purchased a Stellarvue 115mm refractor w/a Losmandy gm8 mount. That’s my main scope. The club I belong to has a 10” refractor in an observatory.
