I tried but I still can't see it naked eye from here near SPOC. Bruce was able to do it the other night but he has better eyes than me. Using 11x80 binos tonight I thought I _might_ be seeing something of a very short tail, less than half the width of the coma extending towards Rigel. But to do it I had to use averted vision and bump the binos. Looking forward to seeing the tail sweep through M45 next month. Patrick
