Hi There,

The images must be stitched together to form a single image.
I saved them in high res JPG format.
The Images were taken last night,13052001@ 1750GMT, by myself and
Alex Richter at the Aloe Ridge Observatory, Honeydew South Africa
The tail seems to extend for 2 degrees but is very diffuse, but there
seems to be no
breakup of the comet detectable as reported.
The comet looks as if it is at Magnitude 4 !!!!
I will keep you up to date about the comet.
