Today, I called the Smithsonian Oak Ridge Observatory in Harvard, MA.
The fellow I spoke to (I don't know his name) told me that they haven't been
able to see the comet either visually or photographically. The problem
photographically is that the comet is moving fast so it's difficult
to track, and that it's much more diffuse than predicted. The
observatory has a 61 inch reflector, but he didn't say whether that
scope was used for these attempts.
