The dust cloud has a distinctly yellowish hue and an indistinct central core. The outer extent of the cloud is however very distinct and it will be interesting to watch it expand and evolve over the next few weeks until the next moon interference.

Equipment

Meade LX200R 8", Pentax *ist DL 30 Second Exposure, ASA-1600

The nucleus may have split. Note the three apparent objects in the center. It is possible that two of these these are stars shining through the coma so I'm waiting for the final word from the professional community. A very interesting comet!
