Comet C2009 F4 Mc Naught

Hi all, this was my second go at this comet, after missing it by 1/4 FOV last night. It is magnitude 14.2 in the constellation of Horologium and about 12 degrees east of Archenar. 8x4 minute exposures with Takahashi 160mm f3.3 astrograph and Astro 40D at ISO 1600. The small tail shows up on the original exposures.
