I should have stayed up to 3:30 am to get the comet near transit but I was too tired . I managed to capture a 10 arc minute long tail 3 hours pre-transit. This is an interesting comet that is brightening steadily.

Excellent catch Dennis, and wonderful info as usual! 8)
Question... I see on your page that you posted its brightness as Mag 10.1, but the Skymap reports it at Mag 11.2, any idea why? (is it changing that quickly?)
