Last Friday (2004/4/16) and Monday (2004/4/19) mornings Tony Donnangelo and I observed C/2003 K4 (LINEAR) from two different dark sites in central Pennsylvania using his 14.5" Starmaster Sky Tracker Dob and a 17mm Nagler type 4 ocular.
The comet was located in Vulpecula and was rather dim at 11th magnitude. Its coma was very small, on the order of an arc minute or less.
