Comet C/2006 A1 Pojmanski
Our intended target was
For about half an hour we scanned the area with binoculars. With our finder-chart it was easy to pin-point the location and after a few minutes of trying a couple of us managed to identify a faint patch of fuzziness on the edge of vision in the place where the Comet was to be. Andy Ciavarella then took a few photos and used his planetarium software to positively identify the fuzz in the location we described.
So we successfully observed the target, although with the sun so close to rising and the sky light it was impossible to distinguish any detail.
