Unfortunately here in west Oxfordshire we have cloud and rain forecast for
the foreseeable future so I am doubting I will get to see the comet at its
best.

Th anti-tail was very prominent tonight. Here is an image of it taken using
a 100mm FL lens on a Sony A7s camera:

The anti-tail stretches down to the horizon and, as Mike Harlow points out,
it crosses the Sun and heads off into the morning sky:

For many years I have hoped to see something like Arend-Roland and finally I
have.
