Comet Churyumov Gerasimenko  67p
in the Morning sky
Sept 11, 2021

 
 This
            11th magnitude comet is now displaying a curved tail, and although
            mostly dust, the cyan coloration around the head indicates some
            ion activity! A horde of faint galaxies in a cluster is seen
            on the upper right.
