Very much less than ideal conditions at the moment - slow moving patchy cloud, half moon.
However, at 1600 ISO and using a cable release plus a tripod for 30s exposure at f3.5 the first image is promising. Comet Holmes is easily visible.

Looking forward to doing some longer, tracked exposures (as soon as I can bodge a platform for the camera on top of my telescope equatorial tripod).
