(Not visible, although some reported it looks large and bright visually still now under the clear sky. It has faded out
very quickly only within one month. It was located near Saturn last time, and near Venus this time. So it was easy to
move my telescope to the comet's field.)

(Bright, very strongly condensed, and easy to see. It looks small. It was located near Saturn, so easy to find with a telescope.
The low sky was clear. I could find Saturn and γ Vir soon after they rose over the horizon.)
