Alright, this is for sharing of your observation experience. Or, if you are arranging gatherings, star-gazing expeditions or just want some company to go observing together, you can shout it out here.
hi guys, last week (jan 19th) i tried to observe and take a pic of the comet but i even failed to see it. I thnk even 5degree south is not "south" enough for me to enjoy the comet :? . And yes, too much clouds as well (plus mountain obstruction) .

Can't see... must be my ageing eyes. Can you point to me where I should look in the picture?

Thanks for the trouble, but I must admit I'm really old because I still can't see it. I tried stretching the image and modify it using a gaussian histogram in MaxIm/DL but still no luck. I'll try it again this evening in my room with the lights off and dark adapt my eyes first for 60 mins. Wish me luck!
