Image Details:

It was difficult to spot the comet, even with binoculars. It gets dark pretty late here in the Southern Hemisphere, so when it's dark enough, the comet is already pretty low on the horizon. My picture was taken before astronomical darkness, and the comet had an altitude of about 19°.
