Has anyone here tried to photograph this yet? If so, how did you do it?

The best pictures I've seen so far are here. The author appears to use
mostly a Canon 10D, either with regular lenses or telescopes, on a
driven equatorial mount.

Thanks for that link - I've been going out the last several clear
nights just trying to see it (with cheap binoculars). Now I know that I
have been looking at the right thing, though it's been very hard to
make out.

Come January 7 & 8, as it passes near the Sisters (I can always find
them), I plan on driving out into the boonies a bit and trying to take
some photos of it myself. Assuming good weather, which is never a safe
assumption here in northern Illinois.
