Comet 17P/Holmes is still naked eye, just 1/2 degree northeast of Alpha Persei as I write this on November 18th.
It is larger than the Moon now with lower surface brightness. It is out almost all night long.
This photo was taken on October 29 with my 4.5" reflector, Nikon digital camera, and an 8 second exposure.
Be sure to click on the photo for a full size view.
