Gary, that is stupendous.

This comet and the pictures I see here have me running out of superlatives.

I don't have the skills or equipment to take the same kind of quality shot, but I'll add two that I took tonight here from Table Bay in Cape Town. VERY windy but clear evening. The coma shot was taken through the eyepiece of an 8" Meade SC with a simple Kodak CX7530; the other one with the same camera on a tripod - but the wind made things really difficult.
