The coma diameter is at least 6 arcmin and is almost spherical, with a slight asymmetry on the tailside. At the time of the ESO observation, the comet was seen in the southern Milky Way band. The sky field thus contains many background stars whose images are somewhat trailed because the telescope was set to follow the motion of the comet. Only a few cosmetic corrections. The original frame has 1911 x 1911 pixels which corresponds to 12.9 x 12.9 arcmin on the sky.
