I've been asked to provide a bit more information on where the comet is located in the image.
Basically it's pretty much dead center, just above the very close pair of double stars, looking a bit fuzzy and sprouting a tiny, faint wisp of a tail to the right.
As always, two 30 second exposures taken ten minutes apart. FOV is about 18' x 26'.
It pops out using the cross-eye viewing method.
BTW, I've been keeping an eye on the position of C/2011 L4 (PANSTARRS) but it's still too far south. Same for 2012 DA14.
