Using the coordinates listed below I was able to find the comet tonight (10:00 pm)in my ETX90 and 26mm eyepiece despite the light pollution in Fremont and the street lamp in my front yard, and my neighbors porch lamps, etc. (I have to observe from the front yard as I have no back yard to speak of).

I used the co-ordinates/GOTO option on my 10" LX 200 for the first time last night, I used it to position me on LINEAR (well, where Cartes Du Ciel said) and it worked, just off center of my 26mm. I did a GOTO on NGC 3079, then I put in RA and DEC for LINEAR and there you go.According to my Cartes Du Ciel, tonight @ 9:30ish co-ordinates are RA 10h18m57s DEC +50°53'10" the closest object would be UGC 5460.
