Inner half of coma brighter and circular in appearance with a small and almost stellar central condensation.) 2013 10 15.73 S 9.1 AA 10.0B 25 2 SEA The Entrance, NSW (More readily visible through Swan Band filter. Seems to be more enhanced thro filter than it was in Aug./Sept.) 2013 10 12.76 S 8.9 TK 10.0B 25 3 6 MAT Swan Hill, VIC 2013 10 9.72 S 9.0 AA 10.0B 25 4 SEA The Entrance, NSW (More readily visible through Swan Band filter.) 2013 10 9.69 S 9.0 TK 7.0B 11 5.7 3/ WYA Walcha, NSW (Diffuse coma, no tail. Coma shows slightly compact central condensation. Comet was 16° altitude at time of obs.) 2013 10 8.75 S 8.9 TK 10.0B 25 3 6 MAT Swan Hill, VIC (Moderately condensed coma. Comet appears brighter than anticipated. In a 20-cm reflector, a short dust tail is visible 6' long in p.a 260 deg.) 2013 10 6.32 S 9.1 TK 22.0L 60 3 3 GOI Araçatuba 2013 10 4.72 S 8.4 TK 7.0B 11 10.4 3 WYA Walcha, NSW (Diffuse coma, no tail.) 2013 9 29.74 M 8.7 TK 7.0B 11 7.2 5 WYA Walcha, NSW (Coma diffuse. No tail. Small condensed inner coma. Moonlight.) 2013 9 28.76 M 9.2 TK 25.0L 39 3.7 6 WYA Walcha, NSW (Moonlight. Tail to the west ~13’ in length, very faint and tenuous. Coma has faint edges, gradually brightening to centre with small stellar central condensation.) 2013 9 24.75 M 8.9 TK 25.0L 39 3 4 WYA Walcha, NSW (Moonlight. Coma diffuse with slightly brighter central condensation. Coma elongated to the West approximately. Coma enhances using Swan Band filter.) 2013 9 11.75 M 9.0 TK 25.0L 39 3.4 5/ WYA Walcha, NSW (Coma bright with almost stellar central condensation. Enhances using Swan Band filter. Tail 5.5’ in length in p.a. 264 deg.

Comet altitude 16°.) 2013 8 14.77 M 9.4 TA 25.0L 39 2.5 5/ WYA Walcha, NSW (Coma bright with even brightness across most of the diameter, faint edges and slightly elongated to the North. Small central condensation appears stellar sometimes. Observed at 8° altitude, close to bright star [6.4].
