Comet is now running far away from the sun however, despite its integrated V magnitute was around 9, it was still bright and extended. 30" of exposure for each channel were enough to show beautiful gas (light blu) and dust (light orange-yellow) overlapped tails generating from the bright coma around the nucleus. A very thin and delicate jet is visible on the top part of the comet all along the tails.
