Well done Scott, even the slightest bit of haze can make this observation very much harder.
I've just started going through my images today, conditions were not ideal with thin cirrus and haze but I still managed to find of few images nearly clear of cloud and wow has the comet brightened in just 24 hours. Please Keep in mind yesterday's image was 86 x 0.0008 seconds whereas the attached image, made in hazier conditions was just 4 x 0.0008 seconds. Some approximate photometry places the comet between mag -0.5 to -1! I have plenty more images to go through tonight so hopefully I'll get a better final image.
Its meant to be clearing on Wednesday here but I am not sure if I can get much closer to the sun as light is starting to enter the tube. I might have to extend the dew shield even further!
