Thanks for the info.
I imaged 205P this morning and was surprised to record a prominent fan shape 
tail.

This comet was generating some excitement on comets-ml as you may have seen. 
The total magnitude has
brightened from 17.5 in May to around 14 currently (both Kevin Hills and 
myself have obtained
similar results recently). Prior to this year there are no reports on the 
Cometas or COBS websites
since 2008 when the total mag reached 10 and the nuclear mag approx 14.5. 
Worth keeping an eye on.
