Hi all,
Comet C/2007 Q3 Siding Spring has shown signs of increased activity, the pseudo nucleus is quite bright and it seems to be sporting a faint broad tail/coma extension to the West.

This comet is in Coma Berenices and is quite low in the dawn sky.
I make the comet out to be about magnitude 11.0 or so but should be easy in apertures of 8" or more.....

Cheers!
