Details:
Well, the month of snow storms here in Arizona has finally paused for a few days and I was able to get this very deep shot of the comet early this morning. The Earth is passing through the orbital plane of the comet, and we get to see a super rare sunward pointing Anti-tail. The gas tail is the bluish white ray extending to the left. The broad fan like dust tail is pointing downward and is a lovely golden yellow hue. The amazing Anti tail is pointing to the right and is also a beautiful golden hue as well. I very carefully processed the head region of the comet so it clearly shows the starlike nucleus of the comet surrounded by a teal-green glow from ionized carbon atoms.
