Session:  Comet P17 Holmes Observation

Detections:  1

Submissions:  6

I was able to get out early this morning and image P17 Holmes.  It's still very bright in the sky with a m1 of around 2.8 to 3.0.  I took over 100 - 2.5 second exposures of the comet and was able to submit the 6 observations below.  They show a m2 (nuclear magnitude) of around 12 which was comparable to other reports.  An image is below.
