Mike, Lester, Ric, thanks for all the comments.

So this comet is pretty spectacular eh?

Where do we find all the coordinates and times? JPL?
Greg, this morning comet and our bright southern skies, it's really a very special view.

For a chart of the path this comet will follow over the next week or so you could check out http://aerith.net/comet/catalog/2011W3/2011W3.html

It's interesting to see the results of others with the same camera. Have you tried pushing it out to a longer exposure (45-60secs)?
Dan, I personally think 30 sec is the most I'd want to do un-tracked before the trailed stars would start to detract from the image.
