The comet got bigger and brighter significantly compared to a week before. The green coma looks to be extended about one degree including very faint part. It means that the green circle is comparable to 70% of the diameter of the orbit of Moon around Earth.
 

There looks to be a short dust tail toward the south. North is up, and East is to the left.
