I know a lot of people got shots of the comet last night and will the up coming nights. Figured this would be a good place to have a collection of the images.

Great shots! That Earthshine crescent moon is a nice complement to the comet.

The views keep getting better as it gains altitude each night. There was some nice structure through the telescope and binoculars, and curvature of the dust tail made for a really graceful appearance tonight.

Thanks for starting this thread. I'll add my image to the very nice collection. Mine was taken in western Henrico County, Virginia just west of Richmond, Va on March 12, 2013.

Thank you for sharing these photos! Magnificent. Try as I may, I just could not find it anywhere in the western sky; it was very frustrating. Tried to see it all the way to 3/25.
