Hi All,
I imaged 252P Linear around 2 hours ago under hazy and light polluted conditions here in SE Essex UK. See my image here http://www.astromania.co.uk/252P_20160605_0020_PCarson.jpg Its coma appears a little smaller in diameter than in my last image on 2016 May 28th, but that could
just be the result of the poorer sky conditions. See that image here http://www.astromania.co.uk/252P_20160528_2346_PCarson.jpg
I measured its brightness using Astrometrica and a 7.9” radius aperture and got mag 17.2 the same as its brightness on 2016 May 28th.
All the best
Peter Carson
