Great capture. I literally just discovered this comet by accident while looking around with Stellarium. If the clouds permit it, I'll try giving it a go, when its magnitude peaks. Stellarium says that it peaks around 6.7 magnitude around April 12th. Is that correct?
Also with these 4 minute subs, do you need to actually track its slight movement? Or is the field of view big enough, and subs short enough, for it not to matter?

Nice capture. I'm still yet to image this one. The UK clouds are being a pest. Looking forward to observing and imaging this one in the coming week's  (quietly confident it will reach naked eye)

Very nice. Hope to catch C 41P when down south in April.
