Comet Holmes 17P

Hi Guys
Just been to the Observatory (Sunday 28th October - 6pm GMT) where I met with Gain who was taking photos of Comet Holmes. I have to tell you guys, YOU MUST LOOK AT THIS COMET!
It is the strangest comet I have ever seen!
Through the wide-field eyepiece, it looks like a giant planetary nebula - similar to something like the Blue Snowball, but green instead!! There's no hint of a tail, but there is an odd three-tiered structure to the comet - a bright outer halo surrounding a concentric dark annulus and then a brighter inner portion which appears not to be concentric with the bright and obvious nucleus. It is bright!! If you get chance. haul your 'scopes outside and have a look.
