I haven't done photometry to the frames as I am no expert and others are 
producing much better data than I could do.

I did process two identical 15 frame stacks using the same baseline and 
calibration frames.  The inner coma (a few central pixels) clearly gets 
much brighter.  The peak is about ~6700 before impact (on a sky 
background of 500) while a few minutes after impact it is ~10600, not 
quite a factor of two, but close.

Less than a magnitude but easily enough that skilled visual observers 
would have been able to see the difference.
