Yes it is!

1st clear night in Munich since days, nearby Moon, some humid air,
citylights - but an easy and bright naked-eye object,
And even with a 7x50 very impressive and so orange!!

Strange.

Finally managed to get a look at Holmes. The 14" telescope is off-line at
the moment, but even through a teeny telescope - ETX 90 - the comet is
spectacular. A near circular coma with a very distinct condensation in the
centre.

The 14" should be back on-line on Tuesday, and it should be a real treat!
