What's the identiry of tail-like structure extending to upper left?
If it is the dust tail, the direction would be similar to the ion tail, i.e., left (opposit to the sun). I understand that sometimes two tails draw 'V', but this time tails draw 'L', too wide angled.
As this structure seems to be along the orbit, and it extends to the opposit to the comet's moving direction, I suspect this is the dust 'trail', not tail. If so, however, it is much brighter than typical trail.
a) it's angled dust tail
b) it's bright dust trail
c) both, or, other interpretation
