Details:
Due to weather conditions, I was forced to take photographs during astronomical twilight, but I was able to capture many tails branching out. Queenstown is too high in latitude and the comet's magnitude was 5 degrees at the end of twilight. I hope to photograph this comet every day as long as the weather permits.
The comet was easily visible to the naked eye and I could see its long tail in my 7x50 binoculars.
