As quoted on the Astronomy Now website, Nick Howes, a regular contributor to the Astronomy.FM Under British Skies show, has discovered that Comet Siding Springs has split.
Nick's
latest image taken on 19 March confirmed that the secondary
condensation is moving with the comet and is not any background stars.
The specs in the image are cosmic ray strikes.

Also, John Slinn at the Isle of Wight Star Party, and another Amateur Astronomer has captured images from just before the split showing an outburst.
