This #HaleBopp image gives a good illustration of a comet dust tail and ion tail. I was able to catch this image in 1997 on 35mm with a #PiggyBack camera mounted to a basic clock driven mount with manual guiding corrections.The blue ion tail extends directly out from the sun's direction. The dust tail reveals the travel path of the comet.

With the equipment I have, I can do #piggyback, though I don't do it often. I've gotten lazy as I've aged. But some years ago, using 35mm film and piggybacking my camera on my telescope, I captured a nice image of #HaleBopp comet.
