Recommended Posts

Shot some images earlier of Lovejoy but there now appears to be two nuclei?

Francis after a look on CloudyNights and a general google search I can't find any photo's like yours that clearly shows a comet split into two.


 


I don't know what to say really.

Tried a reprocess (again) on this one but bringing together the first set of RGB data using a median setting when stacking the subs - that's knocked the stars back:

This is what I'm saying. Members on CN are normally the first to do this type of stuff, I can't find anything.


 


Maybe you are the first.
