Elfstone wroteo you know how long it is to be around for?
I think that is a bit of an unknown. It comes around every 7 years(ish) but is usually too faint to be seen through smaller amateur telescopes. No one knows why it suddenly brightened so much, but the reason it was discovered 100 years ago is because it did exactly the same thing. It eventually disappeared from view only to reappear again a couple of months later, though fainter.
It is moving away from us so it will obviously be getting fainter now, but is still very visible through binoculars. Certainly from your neck of the woods. I wish I could get away from the lights here to get a better view.
I've attached a small photo, (18k), taken with a 3mp handheld camera, to show what it looked like by eye on the 27th of October. The comet is the left hand "
star"
of the triangle of brightest stars just below the telephone line.
