We are currently evaluating a remote observatory in Spain for use by BAA
observers and I used this to get a high-resolution V-band image (0.26
arcsec/pix) of the coma last night.

This image was obtained using the 0.45-m f/6.6 CDK at the Alnitak
Observatory in Spain. It shows a tear-drop coma with a dark lane around
PA 10 deg. The total magnitude in an aperture of 26 arcsec was 11.6.
