Still not quite naked eye with my retired eyes, however imaging with my 14" HyperStar at f2 is quite another matter.

The tail and anti-tail of Comet Lulin now clearly show in CCD images, as the comet continues to brighten. This image was stretched to bring out the faint tails. Image taken with a Takahashi Epsilon 180ED and an SBIG ST-8XE CCD. The focal ratio was f2.8.
