Have seen comet about 10 times since first becoming readily visible. And, like the view best from my 10×50 binocs. The tail is amazing & can see the difference between the ion portion & more visible debris part. Read where comet head is approx 3 miles wide, while tail is approx 650K miles in length! Dirty ice balls traveling through space can certainly put on a show!
