Having emerged from the sun's glare, Friday, Oct. 11, was the first chance for observers in the northern hemisphere to see it about 45 minutes after sunset .

I spent 30 minutes scanning the horizon with a pair of binoculars, but with so much cloud concentrated there, I had to give up an go home.
This time, I found it after only a minute or so spent searching the sky with binoculars. I couldn't see it with the naked eye, but someone I was observing with could. I got my camera out and put it on a tripod — an essential piece of equipment because I knew I would have to take a long exposure image to capture the comet.
