Comet Pons-Brooks grows a tail!

Actually, observers in real dark sky regions have seen and photographed the comet's broad, fan-shaped tail for a while, but, even in rural East Norfolk, light pollution tends to make astronomy a hit and miss affair. 

As the comet is gradually brightening it's moving steadily towards the Sun, so it is only visible for a couple of hours after sunset, just to the right of Jupiter and to the left of Hamal, the brightest star in the constellation Aries.
