Description:
The comet is easy to find in the finderscope as a very faint spot. Nice gradient change in its brightness, definitely oval shape, bright and tiny core. The diametre looks much larger than two days ago, perhaps this is because of the better atmospheric conditions. I estimate a size of about 2.5' x 1.9'.
