[BAA Comets] 20131028 comets

[DENIS BUCZYNSKI]

Hello all,
From images taken this morning in Highland Scotland, with the moon close by in the sky I was able to image the comets below.

 C/2012 S1 is only brightening slowly 
but the tail length is increasing. C/2012X1 is continuing its outburst, 
the coma  is becoming more diffuse and more open at its northern edge but it size has increased to 320 arc secs. C/2013R1 is brightening rapidly 
and has now developed a broad tail.
