[BAA Comets] Comets-disc Digest, Vol 6, Issue 3

[Nick Howes]

The secondary tail is evidenced in the FT images, so I suspect this could possibly be real from the fragment?

Hi Alexei,
Thanks for posting this image. I am intrigued by seeing what looks like a 
secondary blue tail next 
to the red dust tail. Is this an artefact of the processing or is it real? I 
have not seen this 
feature before on my own images(or those taken by others around the same time. 
Can you comment on 
the appearance of this feature on your image?
Best wishes
