Details:
The comet is quite easy to see in binoculars even from an urban location but soon moonlight will be a hinderance. It was nice to be able to image it on the day of it's closest approach to Earth and so nicely positioned near to the Pleiades. This is a 20 second exposure with ISO set at 2000 with Canon 70D. The second image is zoomed in and was taken 20 minutes later and I pushed the ISO to 3200.
