Comet Panstarrs T2
June 27, 2020

 
 The
            comets anomalous tail continues, the anti tail pointing to the
            lower left in this image. The actual tail is toward the right,
            and is short and stubby. At a bit dimmer now than 9th magnitude,
            this object continues to be an excellent imaging target, with
            its long super faint diffuse tail and cyan coma around the head.
