No luck from NSL. The morning twilight is too bright and the high cirrus won't move. I guess I was lucky to get a shot through a break in the clouds before I left the house this morning. Get out before 6 AM if you want to see it. The sky brightens up quickly after that. It's getting lower very fast. Perihelion is only about a week away.

Using my 40+ year-old Bushnell 8x40mm Wide Angle bino (ten degree true FOV), I could detect about a 2-1/2- degree long tail and bright, concentrated coma this morning. The tail is pointed back in the general direction of Spica. Backyard in the middle of the SL valley.
I'm going to try again in a few minutes from my office in North Salt Lake using the 10x25mm bino I keep here. Waiting for a cloud to move away.
Any luck from Stansbury, Patrick?
