Saw it first on Thursday night, again last night. Took a while to find in the twilight in my 8 x 42s so was worried at first that it had faded dramatically and was glad when I saw it. Could see it easily naked eye by 23:30 BST or so. Would estimate magnitude 3.5-4. Probably the best I've seen since Ikeya-Zhang in 2002 (I didn't see McNaught in 2007 and Holmes, with its massive outburst later that year, was very different!).

Had a look tonight and was surprised how easy it was to see through 8x42 binoculars. I would estimate it at about magnitude 6.
