This is turning out to be a beautiful comet and this is a lovely image of it in the twilight. It would be worth trying some longer exposures in darker skies before the head rises to see how far you can trace the tail. There is a picture in the Comet Section archive by Terry Lovejoy which shows it over 11 degrees long on September 28.
