We present the results of photometric observations of a dynamically new comet C/2010 S1 (LINEAR), conducted on June 18, 2012. The comet demonstrated a considerable level of physical activity at a heliocentric distance of 6.3AU. The brightness, measured under a phase angle of 8.9 degrees, was equal to 14.55±0.06 and 14.21±0.04 in Vand R-bands, respectively. The brightness distribution over the coma was found to be inversely proportional to the projected onto the sky plane nucleocentric distance, with a slope of approximately −1. Therefore, the calculated Afρ parameter, approximately 8400 cm and 8200 cm for V and R lters, respectively, was used to estimate the dust production rate. Assuming a steady out ow of dust particles from the nucleus, the dust production rate was estimated to be between 20 and 60 kg/s, depending on the assumed value of the grain's albedo. The V R colour index obtained from the near-nucleus region of the coma is in agreement with the solar V R colour index, and does not indicate signi cant reddening of the re ected solar radiation in the spectral region of 540 683 nm.
