[BAA Comets] 29P Brightening??

[Nick James]

Peter,

That's an excellent early detection from the UK given the low altitude. 
As Richard Miles has pointed out on comets-ml this outburst was detected 
by Jean-François Soulier in France only shortly before your observation.

I can't get this far south using my telescope in Chelmsford due to local 
trees but section members should keep an eye on 29P by whatever means 
they can, local or remote.

Nick.
