Denis,
Well done on detecting this outburst.
This comet has been particularly active of late and it is definitely
worth observing. Magnitude estimates should be made in a particular way
as described in section 7.6 of the Observing Guide:
https://britastro.org/section_information_/comet-section-overview/observing-guide
Please send your observations to Richard Miles who runs the Mission 29P
project for the section:
https://britastro.org/section_information_/comet-section-overview/mission-29p-2/mission-29p-centaur-comet-observing-campaign
Images should be submitted in the normal way as described here:
https://britastro.org/section_information_/comet-section-overview/submitting-drawings-and-images-to-the-archive
Nick.
