I overcontrasted this one to make the comet more visible.

This was taken with a Nikon D60 with a 200mm lens from a fairly dark skies location. The streaking effect is due to the camera being on a stationary mount with a long exposure. Comet Lulin is on the right, Saturn is on the left. The picture is over contrasted to make the comet more visible.
