Caption: Figure 1.

An example of imaging observation of 2P/Encke with COMICS at 10.5 μm. Due to the 20″ chopping amplitude, both positive and negative images are recognized after the thermal background subtraction. The diffuse extensions around the bright spots correspond to the diffraction pattern of the Subaru Telescope.
