Nice. What is the magnitude at this time. WolframAlpha puts the apparent magnitude as +14.26. I tried to see 168P Sunday night, but wasn’t sure I observed it or not. One of those “Oh, avert your gaze that might be it” sort of situations. To put it mildly, it was very faint. It’s nice to see a tail on the thing.

I took several shots of 168P this evening in hopes of catching the fragments that have been seen coming off the main body recently.
No luck there but since I had the images I put them together into a brief animation:
Comet 168P/Hergenrother
