Nice shots Rob! The video was pretty cool too. It isn't often that you get the sense of motion in the sky, but your video captured that quite well.

I spent the day processing the data I took last night.
The best shots were the 60 second exposures

For comparison here are the 120 second exposures

Notice in both pictures the comet is just a blur.

This is a 2.7 MB move of the comet rushing past M33
These were taken with a Canon 20Da at prime focus of a TV-76 on an Orion
