Lovely image. The latest estimates on COBS put it around mag 3. If the forward scattering predictions are correct it should start to brighten very rapidly now as it heads towards solar conjunction.

Thanks Nick. It's so exciting to see the tail emerge first from behind the mountain range - a breathtaking view.
