This is 17 h post impact showing a tail emerging in the 2 o'clock position of the asteroid, there also seems to be a coma structure between the 10 and 12 o'clock position. Another feature is visible at 7 o'clock These features are seen in low resolution here and in amazing detail in the Hubble images. Moving fast so the stars streak being synchronized on the asteroid.
