About this image

Hello all,
Attached is my image of 12P Pons-Brooks taken tonight 20240304 at Tarbatness Highland Scotland with my 30cm f/4 Newtonian. There is the concentration of material at the north end of tail on y image which is probably a disconnection event. Streamers and rays are easily seen in this image. More than month to go to perihelion on April 21.
Best wishes
Denis
