About this image

A nice clear evening twilight here with only a few clouds drifting across the sky. The comet is now relatively high in a dark sky and there is no Moon. Some streamers are visible in the tail and the anti-tail is still faintly visible. The dark circles in the lower right are flat fielding defects.
