Tricky tail

Actually, I wasn't trying to capture the tail at all last night. It
also appears on wider field shots although quite smeared out and
indistinct. A sequence of 35 short exposures has recorded two faint
structures leaving the coma. I'll post the widefield shots in a
summary page when I find time to process them.

I was only about to capture a faint tail myself -

Very nice sir. Why blue? I can get blue by mucking about with the
white balance of my 10D. Or is it a level/curve reduction in the
red+green?

Hmm, nothing to speak of in my picture either - just a hint if you push the
gamma - and NGC1333 just comes into view!

I'm not sure! Thats just the way it came out I had a lot of LP haze
that night, processing it out must have removed a lot of the red data.

I'll give it another go
