I'm almost embarrassed to even post this considering some of the gorgeous shots that have been posted in various places (see links below for a couple), but here's my pathetic M31 and Comet Pan-STARRS. Taken from Landers, California tonight at about 8:30PM with a Canon EOS 60Da, EF 200mm lens at f/3.5, 30-seconds, ISO 1000. The camera was mounted on a Losmandy Starlapse.
The sky was still relatively bright in the northwest and, obviously, the comet was pretty darn low in the sky... behind some thin clouds... and it was windy... and... and... ok, enough excuses.
Other (much, much better) images of the pair:
