Here is a picture of the comet taken on October 30, 2007, by Billy Morrison, Angelo Astronomy member. The photo was taken from the Twin Buttes Park site just outside of San Angelo, using his 8" LX200 with CCD Camera.

From Wikipedia
17P/Holmes is a periodic comet in our solar system, discovered by the British amateur astronomer Edwin Holmes on November 6, 1892. In only 42 hours in October 2007, the comet brightened from a magnitude of about 17 to about 2.8 — from out of reach for nearly all amateur-astronomer telescopes to naked eye visibility even in many cities. This unusually large outburst represents a change of brightness by a factor of several hundred thousand.
