Great stuff Kevin, you seem to be the only imager thats following this one consistently in the southern hemisphere/world (and publishing them) - oh well isnt that the usual way, especially with low morning comets
No dust tail!!? unless that little bit of extended coma pointing in the s/s/e direction is it, at a guess, it is in between orbit trail and anti solar direction.
I agree top stuff!
