About this image

This comet has reduced in size and brightness since last looked last month.

Bright moon and residual high cloud (and a bonfire next door!) meant poor contrast but managed to see easily visually and image using 25 10second subs, manually aligned on the coma.

Tail still shows a bifrucation and structure, although the anti-tail is of course no longer visible.

I wonder when the next bright comet will come to our UK skies.
