Ion Tail of C/2020 F3

This is 29 frames of the comet stacked in Astro Pixel Processor and then contrast-enhanced till the pixels scream. All kinds of ugly noise and artifacts, but my crimes do bring out the blue ion tail very nicely! Also note the detail in the light-pressure tail, and how it curves as the comet moves laterally while the gases emitted previously get left behind.
