Comet C/2010X1 (Elenin)

Before the cloud moved into tonight managed to get 11 x 30 second exposures of Elenin with an 8" f2.1 scope + QHY9 camera. The attached image is a crop showing over a degree of tail.

Visual observations at the moment are indicating the comet is around magnitude 8 (however, the light pollution prevents me from observing the comet)
