Mike,
The field of view in the image I posted yesterday is 24 arcmin square.
I missed the comet at dawn this morning due to freezing fog. That
cleared fairly quickly though and I have just imaged it again with the
same setup. The elongation is now 6.3 deg. I'll process the data later
to get a magnitude estimate.
Nick.

> Nick, well done. I have been trying to image the comet for the last several mornings from Arizona as it appears over the mountains with the Sun behind the mountains in bright morning twilight but have failed. I am only using a 38mmFL lens attached to an ASI178MC with various combinations of f-stops to get exposures of 5-30ms. Your magnitude estimate fits well with some of the reasonable reports on COBs. Might I ask what your field of view is in these images.
