I managed about 30 mins of intense scrutiny of the comet last night before cloud arrived. Using the ethos 21 on the 15 gave me a fov of over a degree and I suspected the comet was filling the whole view but very hard to tell. Using the 17E (1 degree fov) the comet definitely filled the whole of the view. The central core appeared to have a "sticky out bit", the halo appeared to have different regions of brightness, gradually fading the further away from the core. Definitely asymmetrical halo. |
