Table 1: Instrument filter setup and filter properties during the DI observations at ESO. The broadband filters are annotated following the standard photometry designation. Note that $R_{\rm special}$ is a modified R Bessell filter - see http://www.eso.org/instruments/fors1/ for further details. The names of the narrowband gas filters (CN, C2, C3, NH2) refer to the respective gaseous species that emit light in the filter passband. Dust continuum filters are labeled BC for "blue continuum'' and RC for "red continuum'', a narrowband OII filter was used to measure the dust continuum in the UV. A special Na filter was installed for imaging of the comet in the wavelength range of the sodium D lines.
