Sorry for repeated post (I put it in observation section last night but it actually belongs to here).
Comet Garradd from last night, between the clouds.. with Canon400D and Tair_11A @f5.6, ISO1600. Stack of 11 45sec exposures
South is to the right.
It looks slightly elongated, tail is pointing south-east.

Well done Bojan,

Must be a pretty dim object, what do you estimate it's apparent mag to be.

Cheers
Trevor
