29p 20130529 miles

  
 
Yesterday morning routine monitoring of Comet 29P with the Faulkes  
telescopes revealed a new outburst, which was also evident in measurements  
made a day earlier by Juan Lozano (I57) of the Observadores_cometas group.  
Juan's observations and earlier imaging using Faulkes has narrowed the time  
of outburst to between May 28.5-30.8. We are scheduling further observations  
using Faulkes on June 3, 4 and 5 with a view to determining the nature of  
the outflows within the inner coma and a better estimate of the time of the  
initial outburst. 
 
Observers should be alert for further outbursts especially between the  
dates, June 8-18.
