Well done Denis. I set my alarm again for this morning but as per yesterday
total thick cloud cover. I'm pleased I got a good visual on Friday morning
after it finally started performing as I fear that may be my last view if
indeed it does break up at Perehlion.

Subject: [BAA Comets] C/2012S1 NOV 17 inner coma

Hello all,
I imaged the comet this morning in fairly poor conditions of thin cloud and
full moonlight, however could see the same features that Erik Bryssinck has
described as coma wings in his post earlier today seen on his images of Nov
15.These wings seem to emanate from an area of the pseudo nucleus that is
some distance from the furthest forward point. The brightest point in my
images of the inner coma this morning seem to show a slightly elongated
shape. Perhaps this is an instumental effect. My image taken this morning is
at the following link:
