I’ve been able to get a look at this comet the last couple evenings. Yesterday evening was quite rewarding: Conditions were briefly good enough that despite the moon being bright (blocked by trees to the east of my position, however), by naked eye I could see the comet and tail about as lengthy as my fist at arm’s length. That’s my personal tops for any comet!
Tonight I could just barely make the comet out at all: We had more dust in the air due to it being very breezy until after 5 pm, and we are quite dry (again).
Hopefully tomorrow night will be good for observation (calm day and high pressure to give clear skies.)
At some point soon though, the comet will fade as its distance from the sun increases.
