Anyone else see a fairly obvious tail on the comet tonight? Despite the proximity of the nearly full Moon I was able to easily spot the comet with 7x35 binos and was some surprised to see what looked like a faint but visible tail a couple of degrees long. I'd hoped to get some images tonight only to roll the roof off my observatory and see the sky had clouded over. Grumble... Patrick
