This is a 20 minute exposure through my Takahashi Epsilon. I couldn't guide on the comet because it was too diffuse otherwise I would have gone for longer.

This comet looked great from a dark sky. I wasn't sure where the comet was, I panned the horizon with my bino's, and could see a bright light behind a tree on the horizon. I thought that the bright light was a plane coming in, but it was this comet. A great site.
