Thanks Kevin, much appreciated. I've been following your comet posts for quite a while and have been excited by your images of 2013 V5 and 2012 K1. Thanks for the inspiration.

Do I see some red color in it? might be my screen, but thats interesting.

kind regards, Alan
Alan, I think the red is an artifact of the imaging process (RGB align on stars, then RGB align on comet, then superimpose and try to avoid fringing). I have a better repro on Astrobin that shows the colour of the comet more accurately. http://www.astrobin.com/124911/0/

Probably, but very low in the sky. It's about 15-20 degrees above the horizon at sunset at my latitude.

I couldn't see it visually. Too hard to image now and details are getting washed out.
