 image and observation 
On the evening of the 6th the Sky looked promising so I set up my 90mm F5.5 
Refractor ( a modest Star Sky) and mounted it on top of  my venerable Super 
Polaris ( circa 1986 ) . After using Jupiter as a reference point off set to 
where the Comet  should lie. After a period of scanning I detected a smudge 
. I then exchanged the eye piece for  My Digital SLR a Konica/Minolta D5. 
Set the Iso to 400 and colour temperature to 2500K ( this I have found 
useful is suppressing the very high level of Light pollution ) With a 
shutter setting of 30 Seconds I was able to  capture a few frames  before 
the Comet was obscured by  the  surrounding  roofs.   The best image I 
attach which I have converted to a negative form
