Not to out-do Frank's post, but here's an image I took tonight of the comet. 
Not the best of seeing because of the thin cloud layer to the west, but it 
could have been worse because there were more obscuring clouds nearby. I 
cloned out a power line than ran the entire length of this image. Other than 
that and a bit of levels adjustment this is pretty close to how this looked 
naked eye. The coma and tail were pretty spectacular in 18x50 binoculars. I 
was amazed at how easy this was to see naked eye.
