F65:  2.0-m SDSS-r' Haleakala
Z21: 0.4-m  SDSS-r' Tenerife
K91:  1.0-m SDSS-r' Sutherland
W96:  0.4-m unfiltered (OBS A. Maury, J.-B. de Vanssay, J.-F. Soulier)

The outburst amplitude was 1.5 mag in a 5.7" radius aperture, and 2.1 mag in
a 1.8" aperture.

Attached is an analysis of observations made with the LCOGT 1.0-m RC
telescope (Dome-05, MPC K91) at Sutherland showing details of the expanding
coma.
