Details:
Now that the comet has reached perihelion, even though still distant from sun, there stands a better chance the heat of the sun will increase outflow enough to produce a decent cometary tail. This 10 minute shot from the 50 cm scope of SLOOH's Canary Island observatory shows a tail slightly longer than from the night before. Processed on the ipad2 Mini with the FilterStorm app to increase contrast and inverted.
