Here is an image of 17P Holmes taken during All Hallow's Eve in Denver. Taken 8:00 pm MDT (02:00 UT on 1 Nov.) between putting candy in Kids' little pumpkins and looking at eye candy in the scope, I managed to get this little gem.
10" f4.5 Newtonian with 1.8x tele-extender barlow.
1 minute exposure with an Olympus E-500 DSLR. North is up, a little tail to the southwest (lower right).
Enjoy! Joe.

Nice one, Joe.
I was inviting kids (and their parents) to take a look
at the comet after doling out their goodies. grin
Not all were interested but most really liked it.
