Details:
This comet has been widely reported in the news as the "devil comet" due to two prior outbursts that produced a devil with horns appearance. Beginning on Halloween and on November 1 2023 comet 12P burst forth again with a large outburst that continued into the next day. On November 3rd (telescope time in Utah) the horns appear to be emerging once again. This image is highly stretched to tease out the horns from the still bright outburst coma. The full "devil" may emerge in a few days. iTelescope T11 Nov 3 2023 9 x 60 sec
