About this image

Finally got some clear sky at the critical time after a very wet day. The sky was pretty transparent and the comet and its dust tail were easily visible in 10x80B. This is a medium field image (3x2 deg) showing the blue ion tail and curving dust tail. I also have a set of wider field images but haven't got around to processing them yet.
