It's heading too far North for us Southerners soon. I'd estimate the tail to be at least 12 degrees long.

Yeah only a few days left for me also, it's been good though
the brightest comet so far I have seen.

Thanks a lot Greg, really glad you liked it.
Re stacking, I never seem to have any success with trying to remove trailed stars out of my images so for this one I used the 'Heal' function in StarTools to remove the stars from 10 subs before stacking. This resulted in a nice starless comet image that I layered on the background.
It took a fair while, but I guess all comet pics do.
Cheers
