Hello. The comet recently slpit at least once and if you have access to a 6 or 8 ft. scope you might see it. Mine is not quite that big at 5" so I will settle for the wide field and hope the fragment holds together long enough to put some distance between the main body and the fragment so the smaller equipment might image it. Personally I like the wide field looks even though this area is a bit empty except for the dim stars.
