[BAA Comets] Comet 2016R2 billowing tail

[Peter Carson]

Hi All,

Comet 2016R2 PanSTARRS is behaving very oddly. Its seems to have had 
several “puffing” events and this has resulted in a broad irregular and 
knotted tail.

My image taken last night from my home observatory in Essex has captured 
some of this detail.

It really needs a darker sky to do it justice.

Regards

Peter
