Here’s my image of 285P/LINEAR in outburst taken last night 2022 Aug 6th at 23:21UT (mid) from my remote observatory in Spain using a 315mm CDK reflector and a QHY600 (IMX455 CMOS)

It’s mag 14.8 using Astrometrica with a  9.1 arcsec radius aperture. In Comphot it has a total integrated magnitude of 14.9 in a 11 radius aperture. Both measured against Gaia G.

As Nick has noted the comet is +1.6’RA +0.4’DEC from the position predicted by the MPC.
