I actually managed to see it in averted vision. VERY very dim faint and fuzzy. but it was detectable at least somewhat reliably. once I managed to locate it. amongst the very dim stars.
Somewhat down to the left of CO Camelopardalis star.
It was surprisingly extended for a comet object. didnt really see much of a star in it. it was a lot more fuzzy and a little larger than I expected it to be in size.
almost a half moon. and not even fully dark outside yet. plus some hazyness and clouds in the sky too. Weird how I end up spotting things like this in poor condition. yet when the conditions are perfect I'm not able to find anything interesting?
heres a short 4 minute exposure stack of 5second exposure images of the comet
