Seen here in this moderately deep exposure this morning as an extended cyan colored fan extending from a very bright nuclear condensation. The negative image which is considerably stretched also shows a dust trail on both sides of the comet which has a bit of wavy structure. It is clearly moving with the comet across the sky and thus is a real feature. Separating this trail from the countless stars in this field are challenging.
