I caught it naked eye from the Hoboken Train Station. Got off the light rail at 5:10 and had to catch the "heavy" rail 5:26 out again. In between on the waterfront at the long slip is a good western horizon. The comet was visible in the red of the twilight. Condensed nucleus evident ans a long and what appeared to be forked tail.

Pretty cool indeed and darn bright for being visible in such bright twilight.
