excellent presentation and captures, yep one sweet blue comet -
dunno about the swing into the evenings being all that bad (i know what you mean tho) - myself and some friends wished we had realised that the tail blew out to 43º sub visually/photographically on the 19th may - as captured by John Drummond in NZ

as then 2002 T7 was at closest approach to earth and the tail geometry/orientation had it pointing kinda towards earth, making it easier to pick up the more fainter tail, see my pic from SN
