Comet Holmes Just Keeps On Going!

Comet 17P Holmes may not be the most spectacular of comets, but by golly it just keeps on hanging in there. It is still visible in binoculars in the northern hemisphere, and there are some new fantastic images of it. Here is a great one from David Kodama showing Comet Holmes near the California Nebula. Martin McKenna also has some great recent shots of Comet Holmes (site takes a while to load), including a nice one of satellites going by the comet. Albert van Duin also has some great shots.
