Schmidt-Camera images
This is an entire 8" Schmidt-Camera 35mm frame (4.5 x 6.5 deg), slightly narrower than the view of a 7x50 binocular. Note the "J" shaped tail, as described by many observers. This is a dust tail, with VERY faint outer extension.
This is an entire 8" Schmidt-Camera 35mm frame (4.5 x 6.5 deg), slightly narrower than the view of a 7x50 binocular. Same "J" shaped dust tail as above, but the color shot seems to show further extension.
This is a false color version of above TP shot, to illustrate iso-contours of coma.
