The WIYN blog image of the 168P fragment has been removed from their site but the Faulkes Telescope team have put it on their latest blog posting here:http://bit.ly/QZlt7hThis post includes some more recent images of the fragment taken with FTN. Richard Miles has processed these to show the features more clearly:http://www.britastro.org/~rmiles/Documents/168P_2012Nov02.pngI obtained an image last night with a much smaller telescope (Celestron 11) so there is no sign of the fragment as it is well below the resolution of that system. Even in that aperture the comet is an interesting object:http://www.nickdjames.com/Comets/168p_20121101_ndj.jpgNick.
