Great shots Phil. I've been waiting for you to post some more! It sure does stand out nicely in the long exposures. I had the same green airglow the last couple of nights too.
"have setup gear tonight and hope it will catch the comet without me having to get up!" - you lazy bugger! Stay up and tend to your equipment like the rest of have to! haha.
Half your luck... although there's something wondrous just standing there staring at the comet rather than your eyelids! I don't have 30 kids to look after though...
And great shots Rudi - love the way you framed them with the trees.
