Partly cloudy and warm night. The comet was barely visible with averted vision above a curve of stars formed by 47 Uma (Chalawan), 49 Uma, 51 Uma, ω UMa, and HR 4264. The tail was greatly reduced in apparent size, perhaps only 2° - 3° in length. It was easily found and seen in 10x42 binoculars by both Jerry and me.
