I've got a good wide field setup and wanted lots of the tail but for some reason the tail is really on faint side of my setup or the light dome of Raleigh but I got it 2x times this week and it is great to see how much changes the comet goes through in a short period of time.

For the extra curious, yes there are TWO tails, a dust tail and gas tail.

The dust tail that is a trail of dust that is left behind as it travels through space and the gas tail is created by the warming from the sun and ALWAYS points away from the sun. This is why you will see the tails in different directions. In my January 23rd photo they're nearly 180 degrees offset.
