I’ve seen it and photographed it. I observed it the other night (nearly full moon, 6” Meade LS) and could still pick it out. This comet is fairly bright. Dave On Sep 12, 2014, at 17:50, daniel turner via Utah-Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> wrote:

This weekend even though it's a "full moon" weekend on the SLAS calendar, the moon will not rise until 10pm on Friday night and the sunsets at 7:40. So there is a good dark window in the early evening to catch a glimpse of the comet.
