L4 PANSTARRS this morning with it's forked tail

Hi all,

This morning's photo of PANSTARRS with a heavily stretched version showing the fork in it's tail (two seperate tails or is it just the one?) It reminds me of photo's I took back in 2004 of C/2011 Q4 (NEAT) where I photographed a fork of about the same angle seperation and length/density.

The latest two images on the page are the same, but processed differently.

I've also attached some old images of Q4 from 2004.

Regards,
Roger.
