The brightest component as of last night (Dec 6.95) seems to be close to
the predicted position of the C fragment. This is a stack of 30x15s
taken using at 0.28m, f/10 Edge HD + ASI6200. Overall the comet seemed
much fainter last night. Some of this may be due to the bright moonlight
but I think we might be heading towards a "headless wonder" (see Denis'
article in the last Comet's Tale:
