Nice to see a few people are viewing this one. It's heading down into the skyglow from town at my place now, but still great in binoculars.

Here's some images from tonight. Taken with piggy-backed Canon 400D, hand-guided with slow-motion controls on EQ1 mount. First is a Registax stack aligned on the comet head, second is a DSS stack.

The comet is moving fast now - here's a link to a short animation I put together of its movement over 40 minutes tonight:

Registration's not great...
