Comet Holmes- bigger, fainter?, brighter?

Watching Comet Holmes has become a bit of an obsession and for me the most fascinating views are being delivered by the MallinCam video camera. I watched it through high clouds last night and in a clear sky - with heavy moonlight - this morning. It seemed to me to be fainter, overall, but also larger - and the core seemed brighter. Here's a pastel sketch I made about 6 am working from the live video.

Update:Oct. 31 - Comet has NOT gotten fainter. If anything it's a bit brighter - and larger still. If youput this comet between us and the Moon it would fill the entire space and more! Even now it APPEARS to be about one third of the size the moon appears in our sky - yet themoon is just 238,000 miles away, the comet more than 150 million miles away.
