Garrard and McNaught

C/2009 F4 McNaught is battling away among the vastness of Carina. Mag = 14.1 (Sky Tools). Still has a bit of tail if you look carefully. 180 Seconds,22" Newtonian, SBIG 1100 STL,

C/2009 P1 Garradd is still very bright and busy in Sagitta, Mag = 8.2 (Sky Tools). Moving quite quickly as these exposures were only a few minutes apart. RGB 60 seconds each, 22" Newtonian, SBIG 1100 STL,

I saw Garradd with my 12 inch dob yesterday in a light polluted Sydney sky, so a C14 should work.
