Seeing wasn't great but here are some close-ups of nice active regions using the 10" f/20 Mak:

And then imaged the comet between 18:50 and 19:40PM or so:

Some colour around the trailing nucleus and a bit of detail in the tail. FoV doesn't really do justice to the tail or the anti-tail which is barely showing in this shot because of my focal length.

Lovely images as usual Roberto, the comet is stunning.
