Comet ZTF is shown high above and far beyond a row of silhouetted trees. The top inset image shows how the comet looked through binoculars, while the lower inset image shows how the comet looked, last week, thought a small telescope. The lower inset image clearly shows the comets coma, dust tail, ion tail, and a noticeable antitail.

I still haven't had an opportunity to look for this one with my binoculars! It's been too cloudy.
