Details:
I was fortunate that I caught 12P shortly after its eruption which makes for a time course. This image shows Oct 5-9 and by Oct 9th, its 5th day, the coma shows signs of fading. Perhaps this outburst and its visibility will not be as lasting as the July outburst even though both are similar in the rise in brightness. The next few days will tell the tale if it is going to fade more rapidly or perhaps outburst yet again. All images iTelescope T11 9 x 60 sec.
