Thanks Peter and Denis that is pretty much what we saw except we did not see the fainter extension to the North. Guess I will have to start doing mag estimates soon 😊

Hello Owen,
See this link http://www.astromania.co.uk/2014S2_20160305_0031_PCarson.jpg to my image of C/2014S2 PanSTARRS taken early on Saturday morning. Yes it has got a broad fan shaped tail of spread over about 140 degrees. I agree its brighter than C/2013US10 Catalina. My measures show it to be about 1.5 magnitudes brighter, although these are nucleus magnitudes and not visual equivalent estimates.
You can view my other comet images on the BAA image archive or here http://www.astromania.co.uk/comets.htm
All the best
Peter

Does anybody have any recent images of this. I was looking at it last night with the 22 and it seemed to have quite an obvious broad tail and asymmetrical coma. Much brighter than US10
