Here is a picture that is a combination of 26 two minute long exposures from our back yard, here on Bonaire. The stars came out nice and round, but the comet is a bit blurry, because it moved during the course of the imaging run.
the Pleiades are 2/3 of the way up on the left side of the picture. The blue glow around the Pleiades is a reflection nebula. The Hyades are an upside V shape centered near the bottom of the frame, and the comet is the greenish thing 3/4 of the way up on the right side.
The X shows where the comet was due to be on Tuesday evening. I'm happy to report that it did not disappoint.
