I was finally able to get to a dark sky site last night and was able to get some good images of Comet Holmes. This was shot using a Nikon D200 with my 17-year-old AP 6-inch Starfie refractor. I took 10 30-second exposures and stacked them in Registax with a little processing through Photoshop. This set-up is perfect for a good image scale of the comet. I can count at least 15 stars that can be seen through the larger gas envelope.
