Well, since nobody else posted any images, here's mine, taken with a 180F9 refractor under slightly hazy skies.

I had two looks at it before it began to fade. Pretty clost to what I saw with binoculars. Thanks for sharing.

Neat one, Roland! This is one that "got away", as far as I'm concerned. I couldn't shoot it from NM (camera currently out of commission, and the comet was too low for my obs walls for best viewing), and the weather sucked for my location except for the one night I was not available to view it! :C

It was not easy to see and to shoot this comet from Warsaw. When it was bright ( around 15th of March) it was only 7-10 degrees above the horizon one hour after sunset. Anyway for the documentary purposes I made this photo smile
The star at the left top is Omicron Pisces.
Optics: Karl Zeiss SONNAR 135/3.5 ( 40 years old!)
Nikon D60.
