Comet NEOWISE from Arapaho Nat’l Forest

On the run with marginal internet, but here’s a few from yesterday. Comet C/2020 F3 NEOWISE’s tail is getting really impressive, and is now nearly 10° long and clearly displays two tails (the main dust tail, and a bluish ion tail). Below is an image of Comet NEOWISE from Arapaho Nat’l Forest, with Chimney Rock on the horizon.

Off to Crested Butte!
