Heres a pic from tonight of 17P/ Holmes from my backyard, just a tripod shot with the 400D @ 18mm, image slightly cropped, you can see M31 to the left hand edge too.

It has a noticeable elongated inner coma, surface brightness is dropping.
I was going to take a telescope pic but the grass is wet as, im waiting until tomorrow or sunday to mow the lawn so i can get my tripod out there to set up!

1 minute exposure @ f/ 3.5 , 18mm
Adjusted midtones and cropped only.
Cheers!
