Comet and Anti-Tail

Comet A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS as seen through my trusty old TeleVue60is f6 refractor. This is 71 5sec subframes taken at iso6400 on an Olympus EM1 mk3 Astro and processed in the open source Siril software. You can see the anti-tail fanning and extending out in front of the nucleus. A little noisy in the image, but I'm happy with it for now.
