Comet Garradd

Sorry for repeated post (I put it in observation section last night but it actually belongs to here).
Comet Garradd from last night, between the clouds.. with Canon400D and Tair_11A @f5.6, ISO1600. Stack of 11 45sec exposures
South is to the right.
It looks slightly elongated, tail is pointing south-east.

Well done Bojan,

Must be a pretty dim object, what do you estimate it's apparent mag to be.

Cheers
Trevor
