Here's my rendition of the comet from wednesday night at
a site in the hills just west of palo alto...

The above is E200 35mm slide film, something like 20 minutes 
with the FSQ @ F5 on a G11.  Guiding was with the 
ST7E (900mm guidescope) & CCDOps centroiding on the comet nucleus...

There's a hint of an ion tail there.  

I suspect Provia would be better.

We're also gonna need a darker sky.
