| Comment | I was surprised at how "easy" this comet appeared in my 25x100mm binoculars tonight.Massive coma but very diffuse. This one definitely needs a dark sky. First visual observation. Comet displays a very large but very diffuse coma that enhances slightly using a Swan band filter. Comet observed nearly overhead in relatively dark skies. |
