Man, this one is very addictive (arent they all?), such a sustained rapid brightening :-) I wont get much sleep for ages now! this morning backyard in the burbs, hand held 20x80's, .5 degree tail easy - hints of longer tail at times, mag maybe 6.1, ~ 4' in size, very bright condensed object in big bino's.
Nice pic Kevin :-)
this one has a funny feel about it - about blinkin time too - (disclaimer: I could be wrong?)
WARNING: comets can become seriously addictive! they should have a health warning :-)))
Kevin the charts dont also take into account that this time of year, down here - the nights get longer fast also - already I can see the sun coming in windows onto nothern window interior ledges - a sure sign of the sun moving north again. A sign I now dread usually ;( but not this time
