At the risk of drifting off subject for this mailing list, I saw the comet
early Thursday (21st) morning at around 2:00 UT from the middle of Canterbury.
Its appearance was exactly as John Broman described it; about magnitude +2. 
It was easily visible to non-dark-adapted eyes in a hazy sky with tons of light 
pollution - I could see it from a main road with LPS streetlamps everywhere.
Must have been a brilliant object from a dark site.

Wish i'd had some film in my camera too....
