It's been a while since I've imaged a comet. This is C/2016 M1 (PanSTARRS) from last night April 23. Visible in the morning sky about Mag10.

Kevin, you are the DSLR comet man, nice find and capture. Let's hope it brightens a bit more and displays a prominent tail. I've been wondering what this comet is looking like and thanks to you, now I know! Well done and thanks for sharing.

Thanks Michael and Dave. It should brighten more on it's inbound leg. Be a more reasonable time then too.
