Here's the result from the other night (5th).
As I said in my earlier post "I missed the transit but the comet was still visible at 3.30am where I could barely fit the width of my index finger between the comet and the horizon."

This is a stack of 10 x 5 sec exposures at 3200 ISO at 300mm.
The reason for this was that I only had time to grab the fixed tripod so I opted for short exposures at high ISO to minimise star trailing.
