Had a go at Holmes with my new camera this evening - 6 x 30secs 135mm f2.8 ISO3200 stacked in DSS, cropped and post processed in PSE5.

wow ... it's really getting diffuse!

No sign of any central core at all ... looks more like a nebula than anything else.

This really is one hell of an odd comet!

Really starting to fade. I dont think even bins would pick it up now,would they?

I mean when i spotted it a couple of weeks back...it really was only through averted vision i saw it.

Wonder if it has any MORE surprises installed for us.

Wow, really faint. I never even thought of looking for it Sunday night and last night when it was clear. I haven't seen it since the middle of December actually. Thanks for the picture update Paul, that's a pretty good image. Adding it to your non-Oscar nominated youtube movie?
