I will give it a try from neighboring Gardena tonight and tomorrow
night. I did see it last week, but just barely. I am using a 10 inch
SCT...

I saw it again tonight, but again it was just barely visible to me with
my telescope.
With averted vision I saw a fuzzball....but just barely.
I am scheduled to work at Mt. Wilson Observatory on Saturday night at
the 16inch.
I will try to grab a photo of it from there, if I have the time.

From Antioch, IL (North of Chicago) I looked tonight with 10x70 Binocs and
could see it pretty clearly. A fuzzy little ball. It has been quite a
while since I've done much observing and at first I thought it was M13. A
little more searching and I could see both the comet and M13 in the same
field of view. The comet looked brighter, but M13 looked better defined. I
don't have very good skys tonight with the moon, city lights and hazy
cloudcover to compete with.
