Details:
This are reprocessed versions of the previously submitted image. This time I have aligned the frames using both the stars and the comet nucleus. Also the colors have been extracted, so now I can say that the comet has a yellowish-green color. The coma spans for about 135". The magnitude is hard to estimate photographically, but by comparison with ISON (much higher in the sky, and also much smaller and dimmer), and by taking into account the general conditions (light pollution, the morning twilight, some fog) I can say that it is between +7 and +8.
