>I imaged this comet within the past two hours and find that there is much 
more detail in the tail now. A long straight main gas tail and at least 
one more streamer mixed in the now broad dust tail. In my wide field 
image the dust tail splits into two sections at the furthest point from 
the head. The comet is now looking very active and is developing quickly now.

>Imaging this comet now is becoming more difficult as it rapidly closes in on its close brush with the Sun in a few days time.
