That really is a bright comet!
This is from Sydney under 95% full moon with a Canon 5DmkIII plus 70-200 F2.8 with a normal tripod.

About 80 x 2.5 second exposures at ISO12800, with lots of darks. Processed in PixInsight.

Thanks, it turned out better than I though it would. Now I have to image it properly :)


Thanks. Yeah a bit of NR in PI but it helped having heaps of lights and darks.
