Hi Lester,
funnily enough, given my chart scale, it was actually your last few images that were the hardest to plot due to a lack of faint stars in the area on my chart. Having said that I am happy that it is a fairly accurate representation overall.
One thing to mention for the casual viewer. It may seem like the tail had shrunken just after the full moon in January as the comet passed in front of the LMC, but this is wrong. The shorter lengths were probably due to the fact that we didn't expect the tail to still be so long at that stage and photographed accordingly. Once it was realized what we were dealing with, your good-self, Rob & Justin worked on getting the wider shots needed to show this, for which we are ever thankful!
Cheers
Coops
