Description

The diameter appears to be 0.325 degrees (20 minutes) or 62.5% the diameter of the sun. If the comet is 150 million miles away, that would make the diameter of the coma, visible in this photo, about 850,000 miles.

Description

I used a 12-second integration on the video camera which overeexposed most of the comet but seemed to bring out a dust tail of about 2-minutes of arc. Looked ot me like a cartoon of a speeding canon ball! I then did a sketch using pastels.
