Title

Interesting observation of C/2020 V2 using a 50cm reflector + CCD on June 11.05 UT. Comet m1 = 13.9. I have enhanced contrast of the image somewhat, the original image shows a tail extending out of the field of view so that it's at least 19' long in PA 19 deg. Image field width is 20' with N to the left and E down. It's not often that such a long tail is seen with a faint comet. I hope the tail comes out OK on the image in the FB post.
