This is very exciting! I'll line up some missions, too, and post them in the Member Missions thread.

wow! thanks for the images and animation, Tony!
when was the outburst first recorded? I know this is a regular thing, but if you got the first pictures of it, is there somewhere that you can submit them to? maybe at least as a prediscovery image? |

Those are great, Tony! I could swear that tiny star just above the star that is at 12:00 to the comet is moving. But the more I stare at it, the dizzier I get.
This comet sure does resemble a planetary nebula right now, doesnt it.

in studying the animations I see something in the coma. Could it be an out gassing jet?
it moves from about 7oclock to about 2 oclock then in the 3rd frame its not there.
I would think that a out gassing jet would be brighter so Im not sure what its. maybe its refraction from the poor seeing we had during the missions
600% zoom
