Some 44 days after its last significant outburst, comet 
29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann has this afternoon been detected undergoing an 
outburst.

There is a possibility that we are seeing just the START of a brighter 
outburst event so the next observation will show if this is the case or not. 
Unfortunately it has now turned cloudy at the iTelescope facility in Siding 
Spring.
