Hello We have found an exciting comet fragment almost 50 arc minutes from the main component. RJ001 was 17m5 on August 14th and 15th and showed a 45" coma with central condensation around 18m9. Checking the images from August 13th showed that the object was not there yet. It is therefore likely that around perihelion further comet fragments also become visible far away from the main comet.
