I was hoping this comet would be brighter, or at least visible in the telescope. I had to photograph its location,
with reference to theskylive.com and heavens-above.com. Fortunately the comet was close to an easily identifiable pattern of stars, and was just visible in the photos.
For reference, the distant galaxy to the comet's right is UGC 8186, which is magnitude 15.30 according to theskylive.com.
