 Last night around 21:30UT I had the opportunity to revisit this comet, after the reports of the disintegration of the nucleus.I had no trouble finding the comet with a magnification of 50x. There is no trace of a nucleus any more. The core is a rather diffuse glow without detail. I could see a small portion of the comet's tail.

The results you see here are digital renderings based on a raw pencil sketch behind the eyepiece of a 10" dobson.
