Hi David,
I was out comet observing last night and wanted to image C/2018W2 close to 
IC342, which is a nice large face on spiral. Unfortunately it's a little low 
in the north for me as it's behind an annoying tree in our garden I'm not 
allowed to prune!
The same tree blocks my access to C/2018 R3 Lemmon which is just on the edge 
of the Double Cluster in Perseus tonight and although the comet is faint 
would make a nice picture if I could get to it.

See you on Saturday

Peter
