Details:
As previously noted by observers, 12P/Pons-Brooks is already showing a nice ion tail despite being relatively far from the Sun (1.5 AU+) and reaching perihelion only in April. Last night I gathered some light data (via Skygems remote network, using a H10 3.0 scope in Spain) in hope to catch the faint tail (3x120 sec. L, 2x120 sec. R, G and B each). To my delight, it showed up nicely in the processed image, glowing in a distinct bluish colour.
