Yesterday I think I saw the comet, though I'm still not certain. Using binoculars, I repeatedly saw a faint blob, which I recall from somewhere is how comets often look, in the general area of where the comet should be. It was round, with no visible tail. Fainter but larger than the nearby pinpoint stars I could see.

I also saw another meteor right by the big dipper! That was spectacular but short-lived

Today I looked for the fuzzy blob again, but this time couldn't find it at all. The moon is bigger and brighter in the sky tonight; that might be why.
