Comet C/2019 U6

Taken last night with my Canon 600D and Canon zoom lens. Easy to find as very close to Alpha Hydrae (Alphard)

Nice image of the comet, very similar to how I saw it last night. Would be interesting to see some images taken from darker skies and how much tail was visible compared to suburbia.
What was your exposure times, subs and total and did you use any filters at all, just curious as a comparison to my own, similar image and probably similar light polluted skies.

No filters. 7 x 30 sec subs ISO 3200.

Thanks for the info Richard, not dissimilar to mine, 10 X 30" @1600 iso but a CLS filter as well, which caused a red halo around the stars. That and the strong westerly wind buffeting the gear and bloating the stars.
