The attached image is from this morning. It's a combination of 9 x 15 second exposures made low in the east. The comet seems to be around magnitude 8 at the moment, and if it's brightening trend continues it would reach magnitude 1 in March. I suspect it will fall a little short of this, say mag 2 but you never know.
The problem with Comet PANSTARRS is at its brightest it will be very low in bright twilight making it a lot harder to see than it's magnitude would suggest.
