Would anyone in the southern hemisphere compare sketches with mine? The comet seems much wider than the photographs online. I wonder how much is binocular glare and how much is real structure.

#2

foxglove, are we comparing sketches from the same night? The tail can change between observations.

#3

Same date, but I forgot that the times are local. We may be several hours apart.

#4

Put the time zone beside each sketch before comparing angles. Also note which way north is on the page; my first sketch was rotated.
