About this image

The run of clear mornings here continues and this is yet another image of this comet. It shows the broad dust tail in PA 320 and the ion tail in PA 290. The bright coma is well condensed. An animation of this morning's images showing motion in the ion tail is here:

I have collected a huge amount of raw data over the past few days with no time to process it. I'm not complaining about the clear skies but I could do with a bit more sleep!
