Hi SINGASTRO,
Here is a picture of the morning comet taken today at 6:05AM using a 4-inch refractor (820mm f.l.) together with a CCD camera.

Stacked image comprises of the following exposure:
1) 1X40 seconds
2) 1X70 seconds
3) 1X80 seconds
4) 1X90 seconds

The comet is currently "below" 19 Piscum.

Nice pic, Remus.

That reminds me. There was a thread sometime ago discussing the pros and cons of off-axis guiding and using a separate guidescope. To take a pic of a comet, you will definitely need a separate guidescope.
