As I have posted elshwere on IIS this is for those who may have missed that thread. This morning (Boxing Day) the tail was out to 28 degrees. Based upon all of the recieved images and my own personal observations we could see the tail out to 34 - 35 degrees tomorrow morning. Most of the tail is circimpolar from my latitude (40S) and the head will be in a couple of days, although the whole thing will be lying on its side after dusk. The end of the tail should be almost next to The Pointers tomorrow morning. As the moon brightens each evening then the comet's viewing time weill keep shfting back into the morning before the Full Moon takes it out for about 4 days.

Best of luck,

Coops
