2024s1 20241005 apearce

As other have pointed out, something doesn't appear right with C/2024 S1. A comparison of images over the last 3 days is shown. Both images taken with 0.1m refractor + CCD at Skygems Observatory Namibia. Same FoV (18.7'), same exposure (3x120s stacked) and same field orientation. Coma appears distinctly elongated in latter image and a definite overall fading.
