George and everyone,

You sure can see a three dimensional depth of field within this comet in a
small telescope. It's thrilling. 

I believe you are correct about the gradual rotation of that strong jet.  I
wonder if this indicates the rotational rate of the nucleus (or nuclei)?

Clear skies to all,
