good question, it was for 6:10 UT = 10:10 PST, so 23 degrees past sunset it is.
According to this, http://deepimpact.umd.edu/stsp/obsdates/index.shtml
the comet will be at about 13h37m -09 31
Daylight savings time is <evil>

That 6:10 UT translates to 11:10 PDT. Is your 24 deg elevation for 10
PST or PDT? I don't know the position of the comet.
For 10:10 standard time, the sun is 23 degrees down.
For 10:10 summer time, the sun is 16 degrees down.
So it's adequately dark in either case.
