I've been imaging this comet over the past week as its path took it directly over the background Draco Dwarf Galaxy. Since the comet is presently 5.2 AU, its small size, 17th magnitude brightness and the numerous stars have made processing the comet images a nightmare (no horses intended). Here is an initial image of the comet-only (Stars removed in PixInsight) at full resolution of my scope/ camera combo (0.771"/pixel), cropping the field to just show the comet. With another setup (1.25"/pixel) and with pixel counting , I've estimated the comet to be approximately 9.9' (476pixel * 1.25" = 596") in length! Not bad for comet near Jupiter IMHO.

North is up, west is right side of image.
