73P Update
The Eastern Horizon as seen from Adelaide at 5:00 am 22 May. Similar views will be seen elsewhere in the Southern Hemisphere (click to enlarge). The comets will be near the waning Moon and above Venus.Well, comet 73P should start fading over the next week. I still haven't seen it. Cloud has been relentless here. We can have quite clear sunny days, then the cloud moves in as soon as I think of getting the scope out.
73P has been displaying more exciting behaviour. Here are some of the latest images of 73P-B, a nice summary of recent activity from Dr. P. Clay Sherrod, an S-band filter image showing knots and fragments and twin jets, a fanttastic animation from the same group, finally some recent images of both B and C.
