Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks is in outburst again! I observed this comet from the robotic telescope FRAM at La Palma. The picture is the result of stack 9 × 120 seconds exposures in R filter from FRAM (25cm SCT f/6.8 + Moravian G2-1000BI CCD). Below are measurements with photometric filters V and R. I have measured coma including a weak outer part from the previous outburst.
