Comet Machholz

We had a bunch of friends over last night... so I didn't get to take advantage of the beautiful moonless skies overhead. Well... I didn't get to completely take advantage of them.
I got out for a few minutes with my 10x50 bins and took my first quick peek of Comet Machholz. It was a very easy find just below and to the right of Orion.
In the binoculars, Machholz was a large, fuzzy object... without any real definition. I hope to get out tomorrow night with a scope or two. One for viewing... and one for imaging. The current weather forecast looks like it should cooperate.
