Yes, I actually got out the 11x80s and went for the
comet before moon up tonight.  and WOW.  its huge! 
The comet  is still easy naked eye up here in Payson,
and in the binoculars, about 3 degrees long by 2
degrees in diameter.  The tail seems to have some sort
of forked ends or something, cant quite tell.  But no
condensation at all, just a huge dim cloud of light. 
Whew. I thought we lost it....
