I live ~8 miles west of DFW airport. Under almost ideal viewing conditions comet Swan is nowhere close to being a naked eye or bino object. With my 10" Dobs and a 32mm EP it looks no different than M13. With a 9mm EP you can see a core and a slight smudge of a tail - or my 9mm EP is dirty.

I agree there was a significant change in brightness between Friday night and Saturday night. It will be interesting to see what tonight brings.
