Here's the image, cropped at half-scale from the full frame. The comet is moving fairly fast and this is a composite made from two stacks of the 12 subs I took, one on the comet head and one on the stars. The comet position shown is a nominal point on the short arc of movement between first and last subs.

Anyway, well worth a look if you've got dark skies and you get the scope out over the weekend. The ephemeris is here, ignore the m1 predictions as it is much brighter visually.
