Comet Holmes: like a pig

Ok let's focus on our baby. Comet Holmes just keep grown like a pig. But the jets are fantistic, it's my first time to get such a nice image of inner coma of a comet! And I'd like to bring your attention to the color. It's still green on Oct. 25 but is redder on 26th. Spectrum observations are needed...
