About this image

Started observing session at 01.20 U.T. and Continued until 03.10 U.T. Sky conditions much clearer than on night of 5/6 July. In 15 x 80 Binoculars the Comet was a pleasant Golden Straw Yellow. The Tail was in excess of two degrees in length. Image has been tweaked to try and bring out the tail features against the morning sky glow. Let us hope it to remain intact and for clear sky's as the Comet draws away from the Sun into darker evening conditions..
