Thanks George, but as you know, it's all a labor of love and nothing
compared to what folks like Jeremy Perez, Joe Bergeron, and Chris Schur
are doing.  It's just gratifying to be able to add something to all the
fascinating stuff that's been posted about this comet so far.  Sure has
been fun.   - Bernie

Bernie,
Excellent shot of the comet.  Most people don't appreciate the effort it
takes to capture an image such as this.  Nice Job!

Regards - George

  I've just uploaded a third shot of the comet taken from my backyard,
  this one recorded approx midnight Thursday night (6.92 UT  11/2/07),
  which again includes the region of sky containing Comet Holmes during
  it's outburst.  No moonlight finally but the image is still washed out
a
  bit due to city skyglow.  Even so, it clearly shows the comet's fuzzy
  appearance that has become more prominent naked eye as the ejected
  material expands.
   
  For the fourth image in the gallery, I superimposed this latest comet
  image onto the shot taken on 10/25 to highlight the movement of the
  comet among the background stars of Perseus.
   
  It's still quite a sight to see, even if all you have are binoculars.
