| Comment | The central condensation is prominent, the surrounding coma was very weak compared to the condensation. On the May 27 observation I could very faintly see about 6 arcminutes of tail in approximate p.a. 110, but only about half that last night (although the sky conditions last night weren't quite as good as they were two nights earl ier). |
