It was cloudy here last night so no data from me but it does appear to be fading if you look at the latest estimates here. My news article on the front page was clearly the kiss of death! Michael Jäger reports no sign of the tail last night in deep images obtained on July 21.05. David Levy’s famous quote about comets: “Comets are like cats, they have tails and do what they want” is quite appropriate I think. We just need to keep observing and see what happens next.
