Hey guys,
I was wondering why there aren't any photos of this comet around. It's quite bright (7.2 mag) and its position is very favorable towards the observers on the northern hemisphere- near the pole, actually... Usually, there would be some galleries on the internet but i can't find any so it's bugging me and I do not know what to expect. Anyway, I will try to take some pictures of it tonight (weather-permitting) and then I will find out, hopefully...

I'm not sure I would say 7.2 is all that bright. Through a reasonable size amateur telescope and camera, that probably means you can see the core, a little dust around it and no tail.
