The comet Holmes has been positioned in the pentagon of Auriga in end of April 2008. You can see an open cluster of M38 in left hand side and a part of IC405 nebula in lower of this picture. The comet Holmes has become extraordinary dimmed, only faint lump of light can be detcted in center of the picture, of course I couldn't detect the comet with naked eyes.
