Comet Schwassmann - Wachmann 3

I yanked my light bucket out to the driveway last evening to try to catch a glimpse of the comet of the hour. It could be putting on quite a show as it's breaking apart and brightening considerably. Here's a shot taken by Hubble:

I waited until Hercules swung up and around a tree, but when I went outside - cloudy. I'll try again tomorrow night but the moon is waxing so there ain't much time.
Plus I have to see if M13 is still there.
