The comet continues to show increasing levels of details. Now the blue ion gas tail is clearly separated from the yellowish dust component. Syncrhonic bands can just be seen in the dust tail as linear streaking. The gas tail has knots and condensations. Over all, the comet appeared dimmer this morning, the bright central condensation was harder to see. The tail however at the point the comet was rising over the Rim had at least 15 degrees in length.
