As for tail length, in my
10x60 binoculars, I would indeed classify one degree as "short", as the

of comets seem to have "short" tails).
Well, never mind then. I don't generally think of the great comets as
typical in any way. So to me a one degree tail is "long." Most of the
comets I observe have no tails at all... Or they are tadpoles at best. ;-)
Clear skies,
