Details:
Even though it looked pretty much starlike in the 50 images I took it was nice to see the comet early on and note that the movement was obvious even in 60s exposures. An image stacked on the comet may indicate the faint beginnings of a coma, but I wouldnt want to bet money on it on this evidence.
No obvious variation in brightness spotted. AstroArt and Astrometrica indicate a magnitude of 15.7-16.0 (CMC).
Image taken 21:10:02UT.
