wow you've done it again OBM!! you have at least a 3- 4d tail there. so far, sure is a pretty 'typical' comet. like recent Pojmanski was too, tail lengths seem pretty common in this sort - shes a 10 to 20d blue ion tail with a longer guided digital widefield shot then, and maybe 5/6/7/8d in binocs from dark skies, no dust so dark skies are mandatory? less it does something out of the ordinary?
interestingly going through that part of the sky might not be the photo op you would normally think it is, it is one of those rare bright ones that goes through the brighter milky way.
i remember when Comet C/2001 Q4 NEAT was in canis major, tail in/thru puppis, early may 2004, then seeing it out of the milky way a little later, i couldnt believe it was the same comet. the contrast you lose with ion tails in the MW is substanial, even visually - not that its going stop anyone or me
just had a flashback to it thats all lol - i think it happened famously with halley's last time round of course.
oh to live in the countryside *sigh*
its a rather big hassle to get to really dark skies from where i live for me
keep em coming OBM
