m1=10.9 Dia. =2' DC=5 20cm L f/9 72x... Comet clearly visible with direct vision. Small, compact and relatively bright, but lacking visually as far as the coma extension was concerned again. The coma appears almost perfectly circular again tonight, with no visual hint of the extension seen just a few days back. It is likely that this feature is continually visible with CCD imagery, but it may be fading and brightening to some extent on a regular basis as far as visual observations are concerned, as observing conditions locally have remained very constant over the period concerned. |
