Sky conditions were subpar for C/2022 A2 (PanSTARRS) when I kept 110 x30 second exposures for this image. Of interest to me is the possible disjunction of the faint ion tail (best seen with averted vision), best seen in both star-removed images. Additionally is there a hint of a secondary broader tail trailing off the central condensation? Both areas of interest are super faint in these images.
