Last Saturday night, January 10, I left a camera running taking 60s images of this comet. I have now stacked these into groups of 20 and made an animation from the resulting 8 frames. The mid-times of these frames are from 2015-01-10 17:54:38 to 20:27:34 so just around 2.5 hr. The FoV is 68’x52′ with approximately N up. If you look carefully you can see motion of features down the tail over this short period.
