I tried around 13:30 UT (14:30 local) with 10x50's also using a roof as a shield. A lot of moisture in the air and passing clouds. Didn't see anything and would make it fainter that -4 mag. If weather co-operates I'll give it another try tomorrow.

With high confidence we believe we observed?C/2024 G3 mid-morning naked eye? using? the roof of our house? to block the sun? and than using a polarizing filter than a Svbony IR pass 685nm filter.? If we had to give a magnitude guess some where around -3.5. It is much like trying to observe Venus just as it? is making daylight naked eye visibility not at it brightest. Believe it is best in?Svbony IR pass 685nm filter

Hi all,
?
Someone from Saji Observatory reported a possible fragment 4.5 arcseconds south of C/2024 G3, detected with a 103 cm telescope. Can somebody confirm?
