Comet 17P/Holmes and Mirfak
Comet 17P/Holmes is fading now, and binoculars are becoming needed to see it (I can't see it now even with binoculars, but it is right close to the horizon anyway). However, comet holmes has just encountered Mirfak, alpha Persii, and this is making for some astounding images. See this stunning image from Martin Gembec, this one and this one as well from Danilo Pivato, and this very nice one from Ronaldo Ligustri.
UPDATE: Have a look at Tom's images, with a meteor streaking through comet Holmes!

Thanks so much for posting links to comet pics. I've been stuck in clouds up here in California, so it's great to be able to see what I'm missing.
Sorry to see that the doctors couldn't get things sorted-I hope you feel better soon!

This is a pretty amazing comet, and since I'm experiencing it vicariously through others photos, I thought I'd share.
Still fell lousy, but it's only a virus, it will go away eventually. Thanks for the kind thoughts!

Great photo's, thankyou all involved. You may find this interesting to read, considering the unique appearance of this amazing Comet? ---

> ALSO... "Today ,The Head of Satan Star is sending another, and according to the ancient prophecies the final, sign to our Earth from the constellation Perseus with the sudden, and mysterious, brightening of Comet 17P/Holmes by a factor of over 1 million times.
As there are no scientific explanations for this dramatic occurrence in the heavens, for there isn’t any modern recorded instances of such an occurrence happening, it is instructive that we look towards the ancient explanations of what we are witnessing for the first time in our lives." read more here: http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index1045.htm --- Best wishes, Brian.
