C/2014_Q1 (PanSTARRS) July 19 0840UT. Was visible in the 8x50 finder and in 7x50 binos with maybe just a hint of tail seen visually, but very faint. Rain coming so not sure how many more goes I'll get at it before it hits the trees. At the moment I'm shooting through a small gap.

Thanks all. Cloudy tonight and probably for the next few days so I'll be taking a break for a while by the looks.

That is some great detail on the tails. Nice colours too. Good catch for a small gap.
