comet 12p pons brooks. the comet that may be visible during the eclipse

This is comet 12P pons brooks. its the comet that may be visible during the eclipse on april 8th ,assumong it doesnt get torn apart by the sun.
right now it is low in the western sky just after sunset. It may be visible to teh naked eye if your away from city lights.
I was able to shoot it for a few minutes before it dipped below the trees about 30 minutes after sunset tonight

I wasn't going to shoot it because I didn't think the tail would be that great, but after seeing your image I may have to reconsider.
