[BAA Comets] C/2013 X1 (PanSTARRS) - Jan 4th

[denis buczynski]

HI Richard, I mentioned to you about a month ago that this comet (2013x1) was in outburst.However I had mistaken it for 2012X1 Linear which was in outburst in Oct 2014. Perhaps I had a premonition or something like that!Denis

Nice work Damian. If the outburst is a significant one then we should see some development of the coma, especially the central condensation, over the next week or so. Richard.

  Hi all, 
 Following the reports of a possible outburst i imaged the comet last night. 
 A weak ion tail is seen with a few faint streamers. Notably green coma.
