 image and observation 20130328 
Here in the Isle of Man I had the first clear night for a while and the bonus of a bit of dark sky. I had a fine naked eye view of the comet along with great views in 15x45B and 70mmR 
x25. 
Images taken with 180mm lens really show the broad, fan-shaped tail. 
Attached example taken at 2037UT using a 180 mm lens and Vixen GP2 mount that I have set up in nearby fields - too many trees and a small hill to the West of the home site. 
Best view of a comet for ages!
