Comments: Comet observed in 8 cm refractor f/5 compared with 11.2 and 12.6 stars. Coma diffuse and about 2' large. Magnitude estimated 11.8 No tail visible. On CCD image the tail is less curved since my last observation. The afrho unfiltered appear costant from 5000 to 12000 Km. Total CCD unfiltered magnitude is 12.1 for 1'.4 of coma.
