Details:
Both haze and air plus Moonlight on the haze is adverse to a crisp image (note stars). The anti-tail seems to be fading as expected but the conditions do not help its imaging. 1 min 20 sec total integration captured with a Vixen VSD astrograph and Nikon Z8. The comet already appears smaller in the field of view in just two days, it is racing away quickly and will dim as well.
The tail structure is interesting with its central core it has a leaf-like structure.
