1. 30 sec exposure, Scotch Chrome 3200 ISO, 55 mm (f/2.8)
2. 2 min exposure, Scotch Chrome 3200 ISO, 200 mm (f/3.5)
The comet is now very low in the sky: the head is partially hyded by a tree. About three filaments are visible in the ion tail. But the total luminosity of the ion tail is very low, respect of the dust tail.
