I saw Comet Lovejoy tonight high in Taurus. It’s an easy object to see in binoculars and I could also spot it popping in and out naked eye view too. A guess would put it up to being a little smaller but about the same brightness as M13. It was super-cold at my location too, around 6º, and seemed to be really clear out.
