Comet C/2012 X1 (LINEAR) and galaxies

Rain is forecast, not ideal conditions but I want to beat the clouds. Also wanted to experiment for a bit of fun. Comet 2012 X1 (LINEAR) near Alnair and galaxies, 2014 0812 0900UT, SW 120mm F5 refractor, 20 x 1 minutes, YG filter, Pentax K-5. About mag 10. Full moon rising being a nuisance.
