After lots of clouds and storms recently, including 62mm in storms yesterday, I had a brief gap in the clouds this morning and was able to grab a few photos before the cloud covered the sky again
Thanks all
Yes, very obviously visible, I'd call it reasonably bright, nothing subtle about it at all- instantly visible as soon as you look in that direction.
Here is another view in HDR, that probably better represents how it looked to the naked eye.

Nice, I like that view. I agree probably more representative of naked eye view.
Fantastic stuff Gordon! Have also had a look through your gallery.
I think I might be going for a long drive tonight...apart from a brief glimpse of the end of the tail 2 nights ago have been totally clouded and rained out.
I was lucky with the gap in the clouds this morning, it clouded up very quickly again as I was taking photos- continuing the pattern of the past month and a half- very little clear sky at all, it's not good for my off-grid solar power supply either!
Given how bright the tail is now, I suspect it should be good to observe and photograph for a fair few more days yet, even if the nucleus is just about gone.
