Details:

My telescope is not portable so under the light-poluted sky I concentrated on variations in the comets head. The chronological animation have many pictures with a black spot, because I block the comets core and used exponential stretching to improve the contrast near the core.
Very nice outburst 18. - 19. January, in the beginning of the animation and the animation ends with probably the most spectacular outburst so far on 2. - 3. April 2024, as confirmed by Paolo Palma on April 4, 2024 @ Naples - Italy
