Hi All,
I imaged Comet 217P LINEAR earlier this morning and was surprised to see a tail in excess of 12’ length. The tail extends out of the field of view of my camera.
The link to my image is here, http://www.astromania.co.uk/217P_20171119_0452_PCarson.jpg although it doesn’t show the tail as well as the original FIT images.
I’ve seen some other images showing a short tail.
Is anyone else seeing this?

Peter
