(Unexpectedly, it seems bright. I had imagined that the comet would look almost stellar.
But actually, it looks diffuse and cometary. Because it was diffuse, not so easy to see.)

(Comet close to star of mag. 8.6 [Tycho-2]. Nearby field stars checked in DSS. Comparison stars taken from
Henden photometry near IK Tau. Mountain location, very clear sky.)

(Very difficult object in rather empty field. Position checked versus DSS. At moments of good seeing it looked
larger and softer than stars of similar brightness, with a faint coma of about 0.3'.
Comparison stars taken from nearby Henden sequence of RU Ari.)
