I've added a shot taken approx 1am last night (approx 8:00UT 10/27)
which includes the region of sky containing Comet Holmes during it's
outburst.  Slight movement against the background stars can be detected
by comparing the two images, but it's very subtle.  The moon
interference is more obvious by the lighter background sky color.  
 
Hope everyone gets a good look at this comet through a good scope or
large binoculars before it calms back down.
