Here is an image captured by Frosty Drew Astronomy Team member, Scott MacNeill, of Comet A3 in a wide field astrograph refractor on October 16, 2024 at Frosty Drew. Note the clear presence of an anti-tail, which leads the comet and points back towards the Sun. An anti-tail forms from intense outgassing on the comet's nucleus, which leaves a debris field in its wake that is illuminated by the Sun. Due to our viewing angle of Comet A3, the ion tail appears to be embedded inside the dust tail of the comet.
