Have you got the coords for the comet. The internet says it's at 8h55 RA which puts it on top of the sun almost, which makes sense but I can't reconcile that with waiting up until the middle of the night to see it!

8h55 sounds right to me - it is north of the sun, about 48 deg declination so well above the horizon in the north while to sun trundles along below the horizon

Yeah, had a second check, just east of the sun at the moment but a long way north so visible after sunset.
From When do you reckon it was visible against the sky?
