Hi there, this comet seems to be not too bad where i live.
i took some photos. just with my phone, one of horizon and a few pointed down my 4.5" tasco refractor focuser.
I might do some with my 10" dob in coming days if weather permits

Good job Tyrone! Your phone has done a pretty good job of that widefield. I can see the comet but what's that strange red halo around it? :lol: Those shots through the telescope eyepiece are rather good considering the difficulty holding the phone in the correct position by hand. Or did you have a phone holder attached to the focuser? Either way, it's shown the comet in good detail, well done. :thumbsup:

i attempted having a look again tonight with the 10" i think maybe its power was its downside. everything was so bright i could barely make it out. the naked eye was a good night though. heres tonight's pic
