[BAA Comets] Recovery of P/2010 V1 (Ikeya-Murakami)

[Nick James]

According to reports on comets-ml there are now three components of 
P/2010 V1 visible in large telescopes. A nice image taken on 2016-01-11 
with the 2.0-m FTN is here:

This comet is an interesting target for members with access to large 
remote scopes but it is (just) detectable in small scopes with a bit of 
effort. I imaged it again on the evening of Jan 7. A stack of 80x60s 
frames show the two components:

A blink version of two stacks of 40 shows the common motion:
