333p 20241017 ahale

Comet 333P/LINEAR appears to have become quite active within the recent past. When I took a set of LCO images two weeks ago (October 17.3 UT) it appeared only slightly non-stellar, however, in my most recent set, taken last night (October 31.21 UT) from LCO-Tenerife (Z21, 0.35-m aperture, 180-second exposures), it is clearly active and cometary. Field dimensions 15x15 arcminutes.
