About this image

Challenging as this comet was quite low with less than dark sky to start with.

There is a very pronounced bright coma, but try as hard as I can was not able to detect anything more than this teardrop tail.

Very slight hint of green to tail traces.

Visible through an 8"RC but no colour evident

Sadly satellites very evident this time of evening!
