I got up at 03:00 this morning to have a look at this comet after viewing Neptune for half an hour at 01:00 then going to bed.

3 o'clock came and I went outside to be greeted by cloudy skies!!

The forecast is for clear skies again tomorrow morning so here's hoping...

I'm about to go and have a look for this baby.

Can anyone tell me, has it got a tail or not?

Don't expect anything too spectacular. Looks something like a very small unresolved globular cluster in the eyepiece, and in scale not much bigger than a small planetary nebula. It's heading up in Auriga and then Perseus so will be in some lovely star fields.  Should be a good one for  imaging.
