A friend of mine works at a college that has their own planaterium, an observatory with a Celestron 16 inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and they are currently grinding the mirrors for a 42 inch.

I asked him in an email about using the school's 16 inch telescope to get a look, or even to run out to the LAAS local star party hill and he said "Unfortunately this comet is poorly-placed for us in the northern hemisphere. It'd be really awesome otherwise. The one coming up in the Fall will probably be better for us. One can only hope."
