Here is an excellent processed result using 22 frames with a 0.4-m instrument from François Kugel in Haute Provence. Notice the excellent correspondence of the features in the outburst coma with those shown in the 2.0-m image below. The pixel size of the two instruments was 0.83″ vs. 0.27″ with the larger telescope.
