Attached a composition of images of the comet C / 2017 T1 Heinze, of these last 4 months, period in which I have been able to observe it.

I have labeled the date at the top of the images, the Heliocentric distance (R) and Geocentric (Delta) in Astronomical Units

In the last image of the composition, made practically at the moment of its perihelion, there is a strong decrease in brightness and condensation, probably due to the total or partial disintegration of its nucleus.
