Description

Object/Date:

C/2020 T2 (Palomar) @ 2021 April 9, 10:49 UT

Description:

Comet C/2020 T2 (Palomar) imaged on April 9, 2021, since my previous image taken three weeks ago shows now an evident increase in brightness from magnitude 12 to 11, and its coma increasing in angular size from 0.7 to 2.5 arcminutes. This coma appears with a pinpointed central condensation, a whitish central zone and an outer zone with a greenish tone and elongated between anti-orbital and anti-sunward direction.
