Massive Comet Tuttle/M33 photo opportunity on NYE

Hi
I was watching the SBS movie Supercomet, and then took a pic or a real one, comet Tuttle, and noted it is near Galaxy M33, and is rapidly closing the gap, tomorrow night (NYE) should be the best, so Ive scrapped my NYE plans and will imaging this event, weather permitting. I will call on the 300mm lens to do the deed.
Comet Tuttle and M33 are near top left of my image, which is a stack of 10 six sec. ISO400 images with 50mm f1.8 lens@f1.8, on my unmodded 350D on a tripod.
Screenshot is from Star Atlas Pro showing track of Tuttle
