Fine genuine image, but the tails are 3: there is also the Sodium Tail! Please, why not post the data too?

June 20, 6hrs UT. 30x90second exposures, 250mm Newtonian, 1250mm F.L., Canon 5DmkIII, no filters, personal remote control scope. Will try again tonight to capture that third (Na) tail.

The dust tial in this image extends toward the 10 oclock position. The ion tail extends toward the 9 oclock position below the dust tail. I see some sort of discontinuity or change in direction along the ion tail. Edge sharpening filter such as unsharp mask could enhance for use to identify. I do not see 3rd tail .

Brian the Na tail is visible only with an interference filter centered on sodium emission on 589nm ... or similar ...
