Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We present R-band observations of comet C2004B1 obtained in the period June, 21 - August 20, 2006. The data have been reduced to surface brightness maps, light curves, and mean radial profiles of the coma. In two cases a decrease of the brightness was recorded, which lasted for several days. The brightness decrease was accompanied by morphological changes in the coma.
