Observation of Comet 17/P Holmes

Comet 17/P Holmes is has spread little more on 26th Oct, but overall naked eye brightness remained same as of 25th Oct. The core has become little faint and little larger and is little off center in the surrounding Halo of dust. The Halo of dust is also spread. The spreading has not affected much to the surface brightness.

I tried to photograph again on 26th Oct. and I think my hands are getting better on it. I used Sony Cybershot 6 megapixel camera in afocal arrangement with 5" f/8.2 telescope with 25mm eyepiece.
