This was the first time that I detected a significant extension to the coma. Coma extended 2' in P.A. 120 degrees. There was a hint of a stellar central condensation at 150x.
Note the drawing is exaggerated in terms of brightness, contrast and tone...most of the visible features were only apparent with averted vision.
