What's wrong with that Fay, looks nice, and it looks like you have also captured the little dumbbell.

Looks good to me Fay. The tail detail is probably there but needs pulling out a bit more. I wouldn't worry about it.

Great picture Fay. Lots of detail. Really good getting the nebula in the same frame as the comet.

That's looking good Fay.  The tail is certainly quite visible.  There seems to be a patch of brighter background sky near the tail - probably a processing artifact.

That looks really good Fay - I think you are far too hard on yourself !

You'll catch less tail with 120 won't you ?
