In the same session as the Neptune/Uranus observation I thought I would try for Comet 29P in Aries - at mag 16.0.  It took me a few minutes this evening to identify the fuzz that should not be there - see red line.

It comes to opposition on Nov 6, and does have outbursts - so always good to monitor it.

At the BAA meeting yesterday, Nick James mentioned it, and apparently it is one of the biggest comet nucleus' at about 60km.
