Default ASTRO: Request re- Holmes morphology

Is there, or could someone make.... a morphological chart of
Holmes and its components showing angle back to Sun, and
angle back to Earth .... to help people know exactly what
perspctive we are seeing this object from ?

There already are sky charts, but no morphological chart.

Thanks for any help -
Jerry

Best I've found is:
http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=17P;orb=1

You can use the controls to see any viewpoint and date. But it doesn't
show details of the coma and nucleus.

Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct.
Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh".

Default ASTRO: Request re- Holmes morphology

Thanks Rick. I have been using that link and posted some frames
to our club website. This at least gives people some appreciation
for the geometry involved as people look (up and over) to Holmes.
I thought perhaps somebody with suitable software might generate
a rotatable closer view for Holmes. Thank you.
