From the APOD picture it looks like the mag is really conservative, looks to me like its at least a mag 6.5 maybe even 6 (though im not an expert [duh]) Maybe imaging is not realiable for calculating Magnitudes?
It is approx. +7.0mag which is quite nice.
The last report is from J.J.Gonzalez on Jan.05

C/2007 N3 (Lulin):
2009 Jan. 4.25 UT: m1=7.1, Dia.=5', DC=6, 10x50B
( Pandorado, alt. 1190 m, Leon, N. Spain )

Anybody in Europe had seen the comet last night?
I missed the last night but the next night (Jam.6/7) still remains to be my main target. Thanks for the heads up, Martin  Smiley I haven't seen any comets since C/2007W1 in August, so I'll try my best at N3 LuLin.
