Description

Big changes during the last week or so. Visible separation of the ion and dust tail coming off the comet.

Also some changes to the structures beneath the coma as can be seen in the revisions. For comparisons see earlier images I've taken of this comet.

The spiral seems to be forming a faint circle towards the "jet streams".
