This image was acquired on December 19.7 (UT), using a Canon 400D DSLR camera with a 55mm lens, and shows the comet's tail extending from the horizon up into the morning sky. This is a combination of three images totaling 57 seconds. The solar elongation was then 12 degrees and the tail was about 5 degrees long.
