[BAA Comets] Comet 2013US10 Catalina curved dust tail

[Andrew Robertson]

Probably explains why visually I'm now seeing the two tails at less than 90 degrees apart whereas the images are still showing them about 120 degrees apart.

Peter,

Yes, it is a very odd shape. I got an image just after yours this morning using my WO Megrez refractor to get a wider field of view.
