Hi Andrew/Peter/Denis,

The discussion has changed from C/2019 Y4 to C/2017 T2 so I have changed
the subject line. Your director gets *very* annoyed when discussions on
one comet are under the subject heading of another! It makes finding
things later very difficult.

Anyway, C/2017 T2 has had an interesting inner coma structure for quite
some time. My last decent image was on April 25 (I've been distracted by
Y4 recently) but the comet clearly showed an outflow of material to the
north which turned back down the tail. The attached image shows that.
The orientation has changed in the three weeks compared to Peter's image
but the feature is remarkably stable.

Nick.
