About this image

This image shows around 0.5 degree of ion tail. The tail is very faint though and I need to acquire a better flat. This was calibrated with an old flat which has left some artefacts in the image. The comet was low when this was taken and is in a badly light-polluted part of my sky. It clouded over later that morning so I didn't get a chance to image when it was higher up.
