Hello,
Got the below e-bulletin from BAA. Enjoy.

Comet C/2006 VZ13 (LINEAR)
==========================
This comet is now at its brightest and, at around 8th magnitude, it is
visible in binoculars from a dark site. It should be easily visible in a
low power telescope field as a circular fuzz a few arc minutes across and
its motion against the star background will be visible after a few
minutes' observation.
At the moment the comet is well placed, high in the sky at around BST
midnight. It is currently moving through Draco into Bootes and the next
few days, with the Moon out of the way, will be best time to look for it
if the weather cooperates. There is an ephemeris on the Comet section
website:
www.ast.cam.ac.uk/~jds/06vz13.uk
or you can generate your own using the JPL Horizons website:
ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/horizons.cgi
If you have a digital camera you may be able to pick it up on a long
driven exposure. Comets tend to appear green on colour photographs since
they have strong emission lines in the green part of the spectrum. This
often helps to identify them on photographs as shown in this example I
took last weekend:

There are some recent images of this comet on the web here:

Please send any observations to the Comet Section.
