I couldn’t. It was quite faint in the 81mm scope. I looked at it a couple of days ago in the 6-inch scope and could not see a tail at that time, either. It was still easy to see, however. Dave

Very nice, Dave. Could you see any tail, visually?

Comet C/2013 US10 Catalina as photographed from the Driveway Observatory last night. A small galaxy in the bottom right-hand corner is visible. I think it's NGC 2146. This galaxy is about 90 million light years distant (~28 million parsecs), while the comet is at a distance of 142.9 million kilometers or 7.94 light minutes. This photo was taken last night at about 22:30 from St. George.
