I've updated the profile at
http://www.cloudbait.com/gallery/comet/holmes.html with data taken
tonight. The brighter central coma is now at least twice as wide (6.7
arcmin across), with some structure showing as far out as 13-17 arcmin.
I did take some images tonight which I may add to the site tomorrow. I
still see no structure, just a bigger object. Right now I'm running an
overnight photometric sequence, so I'll see tomorrow how the brightness
might be changing with time (that will actually be a light curve; the
other data is an intensity profile).

According to Chris, the coma is about 3.3 arc minutes across,
or 230,000 kilometers. The very brightest part is about 2.8 arc
minutes or 196,000 km across. Chris has a light curve on his
