Hope all are out at sunset watching this comet it looks to be a stunner. It was bright enough on the 11 of March to see with simple binocs. My t3i with 200 mm lense captured it easily.
Hope others start posting more
Spaceweather.com has a great gallery.
I live in Northern Calif and it was visible for almost 2 hours last night.

Wow...just how cool it that !!! This is the year of the comet. Another one follows this one in April with a huge one coming in November. The skies will be interesting to watch this year.

Hi bullfrogs: I had to blow this up to 400 to really see the comet. Good catch even through the overcast sky.

Well I went out and tried my best. Never saw it, but shot in the direction I thought I'd be. When I got home, was delighted to find it on my images, but disappointed because I had blur due to wind during my long exposure. Oh well...at least I got it and the moon together at the same time. Oh, and yes...I have a dirty sensor, I've scheduled to have it cleaned next week...sorry.

First image: The comet is just below the arrow
Second Image: same as above (without arrow) and downloadable
