Details:
The new coma after the outburst of Centaur Comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann is beginning to show its usual asymmetric appearance resulting from the cryo-volcano activity. This year the activity of 29P has been among the largest and most frequent yet observed.
All photos were captured with iTelescope T19
Also shown is a time course from January 13-19 (Jan 18 is missing) showing the Centaur comet prior to the eruption.
