In that day the comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko has positioned in the northern region of Cancer, 2 degrees SW of ι-Cnc. I could observe a 9th magnitude coma and 20 arc minutes-long dust tail in west direction. It could be confirmed that the greenish ionized composition around coma had evolved from my previous observation in early Nov.
