About this image

I heard that Nick found C29P to be in outburst on Boxing Day night, so tried it on the first available clear night.

An interesting sight with the bright outburst in the midst of the debris from the previous one.

EDIT: Nope. It was Denis - see Nick's comment below.

Grant - It was Denis Buczynski who detected the outburst from Tarbatness (see here). I was too stuffed and preoccupied with a never-ending set of Scrabble games so no observations from me.

Apologies to Denis. So much for my memory. 

Festivities got in the way for me too, though I did notice the Boxing Day sky was rather nice.
