Should hopefully now be visible in good Binoculars or a Telescope at magnitude 7.6 in the constellation of Pegasus...
25/7/2011-Finally got to see this Comet around Midnight in the lower Western part of Pegasus-using my 20x100 mounted Binoculars the sky was just clear enough to pick out the faint Coma of the Comet, I wasn't sure of any tail although there may have been one pointing in the direction of Cygnus which was overhead but it wasn't very discernible so I can't be exactly sure, I would say the Comet brightness is Magnitude 7.5 to 8 and is also visible in 20x60 Binoculars as well-great to see this and well pleased-this is now my 23rd Observed Comet since Comet Hyakutake in 1996-good clear skies...
2009 P1 (Garradd) is brightest from September 2011 to March 2012
2010 X1 (Elenin) may be a naked eye or binocular object in 2011 October
Good Clear Skies
