A clear evening for imaging the comet with Astrometrica calculating magnitudes of G=5.2, 5.1, 5.3 and V=5.4, 5.4, 5.4 at 0131, 0134, 0147UT on 2022 January 3 UT using 10x10s, 10x15s, 10x10s green filter images. On 2022 January 2 UT V=5.0, 5.1 so the comet is fainter this evening. The coma was 4' wide and the tail was >1.2 degrees long at PA 93 degrees. This evening the tail does have a bit of a bend in it to the north at about 0.6 degrees above the coma and then it points straight east for the remaining 0.6 degrees before extending beyond the image.
