The tail is about 26 degrees long this morning. It is hard to tell where it ends because the tail ends in front of the milky way.
It is easy to see the tail to the right of alpha Cen, and the tail can be seen to the tight of beta Cen, but that is not easy. The comet is fading.
I observed with 7x50 binoculars, moving them back and forth across the tail.
