Comet Garradd on18/02/2012

Comet Garradd is at its maximum luminosity. It is moving north away from us (to the right of the picture). The appearance of the 2 tails is changing. It is interesting to compare to my 2 previous photos taken with the same orientation. On this shot taken on 18/02/2012, the tails are nearly exactly opposite to each other.
