Viewed both Comet Linear and Bradfield this am with binoculars. Found Bradfield about 5 minutes before first touch of light in the east. Long tail (more than 5 degrees) and appeared brighter than Linear. I am planning to photograph both tomorrow (4/24) and only went out this morning to gauge the time and location to set up. Bradfield was over the lights of Boulder City, Nevada (I didn't have enough gas to get down the highway to a light free eastern horizon). Missed an opportunity.

Hi All, I was looking at GUIDE7 and it has Linear up at about 11 deg at 6:15 EDT here in MI., and Bradfield is lower yet but farther North. I hope to get up and take a look at them this morning. Linear is about 2 deg East of the red star TX Psc or 19. It is the Eastern most star in the Western Fish.
