Within the last hour skies have cleared beautifully over North Wales. The comet is in full view now, and so bright that the full moonlight hardly matters. It is much bigger and fuzzier than when I saw it first and noticeably brighter too relative to the stars of Perseus. (I hope the same happens in Cumbria, Stu. Snowdonia and Cumbria often get the same weather at about the same time so keep looking out!)
