Composite R-filter images obtained at the NTT in May 2005. Each panel consists of 71 × 100 s, 123 × 100 s, and 82 × 100 s, images stacked according to the comet’s projected rate of motion. In each case, as with all our data, the comet appears as a sharp point source on our images. Celestial North and East are marked along with the projected solar direction and heliocentric velocity vectors.
