Wow!
A bit of astrometry says the frame with the nucleus was taken at about 03:45UTC on Dec 13. Position 16h30'37.1" +31d26'25.5"
The tail looks a bit truncated, but what you can see is about 7.3 degrees long.
The double star about half way down one side is Nu Coronae Borealis.

Some of the comet pics recently have been amazing and this is one of the best for sure.

I'd love to be able to pull something like that off, I wager it requires a bit of further investment though.

At least you're in the right place to see the comet with your own eyes :D

I'm getting a little old to chase too much tail these days.

Pity about ISON:

I like his gear. You won't see pictures like that with a DSLR.

Amazing, one of the best comet images ever. The detail in the tail is stunning. it's a great image scale for this type of imaging.
