Peter,

My astrometry (attached) shows the magnitude to be stable but it does
seem that the coma is developing. I don't know whether this is real or
due to better conditions tonight but the extension to the SE seems to be
getting more prominent. This is a field of 4.8 arcmin square centred on
the comet's ephemeris position.

Nick.
