Unfiltered image of comet P/2010 H2 (Vales), obtained by Ernesto Guido & Giovanni Sostero on April 16.42 with 0.25m, f3.4 reflector. Image was stacked with 6 unfiltered images of 120-second exposure. It shows that this object has an FWHM consistently wider than the nearby field stars of similar brightness. An additional stacking of 6 unfiltered exposures, 30-sec each, obtained through the same instrumentation on 2010 Apr. 16.43, confirm this evidence.

Image with a very high contrast rendition. I can clearly state that there is a faint coma around the object. The coma is about 50 pixels large, therefore about 1.3 arc minute wide. Copyright © 2010 by Alain Maury.
