The clouds started to break up at 11pm BST and the comet had attained sufficient elevation that I could take my first outdoor pictures of it, albeit from the bottom of my garden facing a gap between houses.
The sky was still quite light when I took this set at 22:32 UT showing the comet near mag 3 iota UMa - nice views in 10x50 binoculars. The cloud cover increased so this was my best view of the night.
