Some lovely images of this comet from dark sky sites.
Have to be content with imaging from home.

Great shots. Is it just my eyes or does it look like there’s a secondary ion tail formed now?

Hi David,
There is an ion tail. See

I think I have a hint of it in my image, but a much darker sky would help.
I can't seem to catch that greenish colour with my setup.
Richard.

These are really great images Richard. Agree with David, there does seem to be a hint of the ion tail in your images. Very cool animation.
