[BAA Comets] Fw: Fw: [CometObs] C/2013 X1 outburst ?

[Nick James]

Hi all,

I managed to image this comet tonight in good skies using my widefield 
setup from Chelmsford. There is definitely a very diffuse outer 
extension to the coma. Using my VEM method I get mag 8.4 using UCAC-4 R 
mags and a photometric aperture of 620 arcsec diameter. My image is here:

This is a nicely positioned object which will be interesting to follow 
over the next few months.

Nick.
