The comet was strictly a telescope/ binoculars object. It was always near clouds over the dingle mountains to the southwest. Given a clearer darker sky it might have been naked eye. As it was moving by up to 4 degrees per night I think that the opportunity to see it will be gone in a week.

Naked eye or via an instrument? I hang my head in shame when I say I haven't seen it yet. Confused

Hopefully i'll catch it from Mayo or Donegal this week with my bins.
*Memo to self*~~~bring Sky Scout also or i will be up a creek without a paddle trying to find it.
