I haven't imaged this since the 9th but it's still hanging in there.

6" F5 Newtonian, 28 x 30 second subs at ISO 3200, Pentax K-x.

Looking like a very nice comet Kevin!

I was planing to catch up on some comets tomorrow night if it's clear and besides this one what other comets are worth a pic at the moment?

Hi Jo. Comet C/2014 E2 Jacques is visible in the western sky about mag 9 and Comet C/2012 K1 (PANSTARRS) is in the north about the same mag. It's at +65 degrees so is a bit low. C/2013 R1 Lovejoy is still about but fading.

Thanks Kevin, I'll see if I can track them down tonight :thumbsup:
