Description |
Although not quite as interesting
in structure as the other comet that was visible around the same time (see
C/2001 Q4 here) there is still an indication
of a shortened dust tail. The open clusters M46 and M47 are a short
distance away from this field of view, which is just under 2 degrees wide. |
