I was able to photograph the comet for 10 minutes with exposure times of 0.5 to 2 seconds. The overall picture shows a somewhat fanned-out tail of up to 20 arc minutes. The coma is small and highly condensed. I estimate it to be roughly 2m5. , I combined this image with a single shot of 1 second. Courtesy Michael Jäger.
