• Support It is tricky to get good photos of celestial objects, especially ones that do not show the zig-zags of the astroguide. This image appears to have minimal such zig-zags. And the tail is amazing! But can I get an explanation for the blue color? Was this the actual color of the comet? Why? KDS4444^Talk 23:34, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
