2017 Jun 22.75 UT; m1= 13.5; Dia= 1'; DC= 2; 25cm L, f:5 (x83) [Chris Wyatt, Walcha, NSW, Australia]
Diffuse patch of light, slightly brighter in centre.

C/2015 ER61 PanSTARRS
2017 Jun 22.76 UT; m1= 9.3; Dia= 4.1'; DC= 5; 25cm L, f:5 (x39) [Chris Wyatt, Walcha, NSW, Australia]
Faint tail visible, 10.5' in length in P.A. 260°; Coma dims slightly in Swan Band filter. Inner coma appears elongated to the South-West approximately, Fragment B just noticeable as a diffuse smudge behind the central condensation in the coma. Magnitude refers to total combined light of the pair.

Please find enclosed a list of my recent comet observations in ICQ format.
Magnitudes are derived from large aperture photometry of CCD/DSLR images
(using green filter or green color channel) and are supposed to conform
to visual estimates of total coma magnitudes.
Remote observations were carried out using telescopes from iTelescope.net.
For image reduction and photometric analysis I used my AIRTOOLS software
(see https://github.com/ewelot/
