Well, the month of snow storms here in Arizona has finally paused for a few days and I was able to get this very deep shot of the comet early this morning. The Earth is passing through the orbital plane of the comet, and we get to see a super rare sunward pointing Anti-tail. The gas tail is the bluish white ray extending to the left. The broad fan like dust tail is pointing downward and is a lovely golden yellow hue. The amazing Anti tail is pointing to the right and is also a beautiful golden hue as well. I very carefully processed the head region of the comet so it clearly shows the starlike nucleus of the comet surrounded by a teal-green glow from ionized carbon atoms.

I like astronomy, archaeology, photography, music and drinking a lot of tea. I hate politics. Something that annoys me: that I shall not respect the permanence, and to take me by what I'm not. The best sign: VIRGO. The worst: the health. The best: adapt and know how to get ahead.
