[Chaos-l] Fwd: observing query

[Jayme Hanzak]

I tracked this faint object down . . . I think. It is very faint and the stars in the background shine through it's coma easily. 

I found it Friday, couldn't find it Sat. or Sunday.

OK, so it's been a while since I got my scope out but a new comet is enough to pique my interest.  Is this comet really hard to find?  I swept the area in question until it sparkled and I didn't see any "dust bunnies" (I might have swept them away!).    Is it like 20th magnitude or something?  Has anyone else seen it?  Thanks.
