Comet C/2013 US10 (Catalina)

Managed to image this comet sitting a fair way above the Small Magellanic Cloud last night about magnitude 7 coma nice and green. I could not reveal the tail but did reveal a distant galaxy IC 5176 about 80 million light years away even though polar alignment was not perfect with tripod sitting on the sand near the water.
