Nice pic. I've just come in from a quick look with binocs (8x42) and it
looked just like your picture. (-:

Thank you, I actually had that rare opportunity of a clear sky and a
chance to get out for a few minutes with my binocs (15x50) to look for
this I saw a very large circular fuzzy below and right of the Pleiades
which your shot has confirmed as being the comet.
