Details:
A very brief window of mostly clear skies allowed this image to be taken (my first since 14 Oct). With sky transparency 5 of 10, with Bortle skies of 5.5 to 6, I took 38 RAW subs at 15s exp, iso = 360, @ f/4 with my 180mm Nikkor f/2.8 lens and Fujifilm X-T5. Post processing with PixInsight. Since the comet hardly moved in this 9.5 minute integrated time period, there was not need to comet align.
The comet's anti-tail was still quite evident and a bulge near the top of this 7.,5 x 5.0 degree field of view was very apparent. Magnitude estimate was ~4.0 and was only seem in my binoculars and with my camera's live view.
