CommentObserving under much better conditions than normal, however some minor light pollution from Brisbane. Clearly visible to naked eye as a hazy 4th magnitude star. In the 30cm at 75x the coma is very large and bright 20-30' across) with a clear starlike condensation and a faint tail that shows hints of structure.
