My observation and images of C/2014 Q1 PANSTARRS.
2015 July 19 at 08:50UT.
Comet appeared magnitude 4.9 through 8x40mm binoculars.
It was barely detectable with the naked eye due to moonlight interference. The comet displays 3 types of tail.
Visually through 25x100mm binoculars, I observed a 2 degree long ion tail (type I) superimposed on a 1 degree dust tail (type II) eastwards in PA 104 and a 1 degree long dust trail (type III) northwards in PA 23.
The photographic length of the ion tail is >4.5 degrees in this photo.
