Default Holmes coma detail - October 30th

Being between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter and heading away, it's freaky
that Holmes is that volatile. The
solar flux at that distance is such that you have to wonder about this
unique comet.

Hi all,

Here's another shot of the inner coma structures taken on the night of
the 30th October 2007. Note the interesting features close to the
pseudo-nucleus.
