Details:
The comet (now in Ophiuchus) has definitely faded from a week ago and the tail is noticeably shorter. Through 7x35 binoculars I estimate it to be 4th magnitude; it's tougher to spot despite being higher in the sky, after nightfall, and with no Moon. Labeled and unlabeled versions.

Photo data:
Panasonic G9, William Optics RedCat 51, Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer GTi
... 60 x (f/4.9, 20 sec, ISO 800) = 20 minutes
