Observation by Nick James: 29P/Schwassmann–Wachmann

The comet has faded back to quiescence following the big outburst of November 19. An extended coma is visible surrounding the bright point-like photocentre of the comet. The star just to the SW and currently just within the coma will be occulted later tonight.
