made my first observation of the comet this morning, was surprised at how dim it was,

Got my first viewe of the comet in the small hours of last Thursday and thought exactly the same as you Tyler. However by the time it had cleared most of the tree tops the sky was already quite bright & McNaught was quickly getting drowned out. I wasn't able to detect any colour through my 10X50 bins but the greenish colour was very apparent in the couple of images that I took.
