Owen,

I don't have any telescopic images and most of my  telephoto images are
saturated on the brightest part of the coma.

Attached is a quick unsharp mask of the inner tail area showing the two
bright trails separated by a dark band.

I'm sure there must be some high res telescopic images out there. I
remember C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) was a spectacular view in my 12-inch
Newtonian with amazing dust shells etc. Unfortunately this comet is just
too low for me to get to with the telescope.

Nick.
