Comet Siding Spring and Mars with 10 inch scope

[tornado33]

Here is my effort with this unusual apparation. Hot off the camera so just calibration and a quick play in Photoshop. 6 x 120 sec ISO 400 with 10 inch scope and modded 350D camera , no filters.
Oddly enough it looks as if Mars is the Sun with the tail pinting away from Mars, purely coincidental of course.

Thanks all. Comet still moving rather quick, couldnt go longer then 2 min subs without comet moving too much.
