I read Joe's post and decided to try for the comet myself. Obscuring
the sun behind the wall of my condo, I took Joe's directions and
spotted the comet using 20x100 binoculars. The coma as expected was
bright with maybe 1/4-1/2 degree tail visible.
Never thought I would observe a comet in broad daylight. Fantastic.
Think I might haul out the scope.

P.S. Thanks Joe for the heads-up.
