This is another image of comet C/2004 Q2 Machholz with M45 (Pleiades cluster). This image isn't quite as sharp as the other, but clearly shows the comet's tail reaching across in to M45.
It is interesting to compare this image to the other in this gallery from the 5th January. This is rotated differently (90 degrees anti-clockwise) but you can see the movement of the comet against the background of M45 between the two images.
