Last night (04-Feb-2016) I captured two comets. They are both not far from Polaris this time.
Left image: C/2013 US10 (Catalina)
Right image: C/2014 S2 (Panstarrs)
The comets are in the center of respective images. Stars are marked for better orientation.
Canon EOS 600D + EF 50mm f/1.8 II on a tripod.
1st: C/2013 US10 (Catalina) ~21:35 (UT+2)
f/2.5 10x12s ISO800
2nd: C/2014 S2 (Panstarrs) ~21:08 (UT+2)
f/2.5 60x3s ISO800
The second comet was close to the horizon where light pollution was bigger.
Both sky areas are ~3x3 degrees in size.
According to CometBase, the brightness of the first comet is ~7m (http://cometbase.net/en/observation/listObserv/121); the second one is dimmer: not brighter than 9m (http://cometbase.net/en/observation/listObserv/1119)
C/2013 US10: there is even a weak sign of a tail in the black-and-white high-contrast version (better seen in the reduced size):
