I imaged 252P Linear around 2 hours ago under hazy and light polluted conditions here in SE Essex UK. Its coma appears a little smaller in diameter than in my last image on 2016 May 28th, but that could just be the result of the poorer sky conditions. I measured its brightness using Astrometrica and a 7.9” radius aperture and got mag 17.2 the same as its brightness on 2016 May 28th. |
