wow ... it's really getting diffuse!
No sign of any central core at all ... looks more like a nebula than anything else.
This really is one hell of an odd comet!

Really starting to fade. I dont think even bins would pick it up now,would they?
I mean when i spotted it a couple of weeks back...it really was only through averted vision i saw it.
Wonder if it has any MORE surprises installed for us.

Wow, really faint. I never even thought of looking for it Sunday night and last night when it was clear. I haven't seen it since the middle of December actually. Thanks for the picture update Paul, that's a pretty good image. Adding it to your non-Oscar nominated youtube movie?
