Tonight I was at the country location, have seen the comet R1 again, however had not much time&wish to thouroughly estimate it. Yes, Martin, it moves very noticeable night from night apart. At first glance through 20x90B it looked the same as before, but then it seemed to us that the coma is elongated to NW. I guess there was something like a tail 10-15' long, but I cannot confirm that fact.

Good luck everyone with catching it before it would be near perihelion!  Smiley

P.S. Stunning image, Richard!  Smiley
