False color image of comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann (component B) with clear evidence of disruption well in progress.
Beside small bright nucleus (top of ellipsoidal coma cloud), an elongated condesation of material is present, while
dispersing along the dust tail axis. Image was obtained on 2006 Apr. 20 (22h33-22h37UT) and is is a composition of
three 60 sec co-addedd exposures, obtained with 60-cm, f/3.3 Deltagraph telescope, R filter and CCD.

False color image of comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann (component B) with elongated coma without clear central
condensation. This significant appearance is resembling the
initial phase of disruption of C/1999 S4 (LINEAR).
Image was obtained on 2006 Apr. 14 (2h16-2h27UT) with 60-cm, f/3.3 Deltagraph telescope, R filter and CCD.
It is a composition of six 30 sec exposures, combined into a single 180 second exposure with Fitsblink software.
Image scale is 2.49 arc sec/pixel. Copyright © 2006 by H. Mikuz, Crni Vrh Observatory.
