As per an earlier post, I pointed out the similarity to the Great Comets of 1880 amd 1887. It does seem to be following this trend with the tail extending but getting rapidly fainter. I see John Drummond photographed nearly 40 degrees of very faint tail this morning!

In the meantime I couldn't help but have a chuckle at the Solar System imaging forum! see attached image...
