13p 20240804 dbartlett

 Not nearly as dynamic however comet 13P/ Olbers is still producing the elements that has showcased this comet. The main plasma tail is straight as an arrow with knots and clumps.  Its dusty tail flairs with its pale yellow color.  A shockwave envolpe surrounds the coma.  IMHO, this comet is still beautiful.
