I employed Comets for Windows to plot the following graph with all the measured data during the spell when the comet moves passing across the FOV. We can see that the magnitude is linearly increasing as it heads towards its perihelion along its path.

 

Gauss curve produced by Astrometrica. The total PSF is using an aperture circle of 2 x 2 pixel around the brightest pixel, which is, I am afraid, insufficient as the size of coma increases. Taking this factor into consideration, I surmise that the lightcurve should have shown a steeper upclimbing slope as time passes. We can see the computed Gauss curve in the right and the real pixels distributing narrowly deviating from the ideal line. The Fit RMS, which inlays under the Gauss curve, is the deviation from the ideal line.

By adding space vectors, I fed the data to FindOrb to calculate the orbital elements for 249P with which I compared against the orbital solution calculated from ground-based observations. Amazingly, there are only some trivial differences.

I employed Comets for Windows to plot the following graph with all the above data. We can see that the magnitude is steadily increasing as it moves towards its perihelion.

 

Gauss curve produced by Astrometrica. The total PSF is using an aperture circle of 2 x 2 pixel around the brightest pixel. We can see the computed Gauss curve in the right and the real pixels distributing somewhat deviating from the ideal line. The Fit RMS, which inlays under the Gauss curve, is the deviation from the ideal line.
