Simple photometry for Comet Holmes

Hi,

Here's an image made from my rooftop (adventure with a tripod in the city ).
I blurred the image deliberately, so you can get a fairly good estimate of the comet brightness
(I have done a lot of visual comet work years ago ).

Best regards

Got a lucky break, and I had a chance to see the comet tonight. It was very easy to find from my light polluted location, and hazy skies. Very impressive view through 10x50 binoculars, extremely bright, almost planetary in appearance, pale yellow color.

Weather may not improve until Sunday, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Thanks for the tip on estimating its magnitude.
