We have seen strong outbursts trigger secondary strong outbursts in this way before.
One hypothesis is that slow moving (<25 m/s) large clumps of material fall back onto the nucleus breaking the crust and initiating a new eruption. ?
More observations may show further brightening.
Clear skies,
Richard

Congratulations on capturing the outburst.? Very exciting !? ?
?
I have had 12 days of cloudy conditions with no sign of a break. There is a high pressure area over us - my barometer has hardly moved.? ?I have refurnished some USB cables and hubs that were causing lost connections and continue to test while cloudy.
?
May i ask:? What is the mpc code for the Spanish remote instrument mentioned in the October Trustees Report?
?
Is it being used for 29P ?
?
Clear skies!!

Hi Tim/Wayne.

I have been using the Alnitak telescope for 29p monitoring during the last apparition and reporting astrometry to MPC and photometry to Richard Miles for Mission 29, but reservations this apparition cannot commence until the comet has risen in altitude a litle more. All reservations I have requested have reported roof closed. I will be reserving daily 29p observations with this telescope in the coming days. Best wishes Denis ------ Original Message ------
