Description

This series was taken with the comet just rising above the horizon, degrading the resolution. The comet displays the characteristic dust tail (pointing at about the 5:00 position) and ion tail (pointing at about the 2:00 position.) The ion tail, deflected by the solar wind, always points away from the sun.
