The image above comes from the sigma-clipping combination of 12, 60-second unfiltered exposures, remotely taken with the Celestron C14+Paramount ME+SBIG ST-10XME robotic unit available as part of the Virtual Telescope Project in Manciano, Italy.
The same image as above with labels.
In the image above we see a new fragment just in front of the brightest component, with hints of a possible second one (or a cloud of debris) just after the latter.
We will continue monitoring this comet.
