Description

Quite a better night than last, with better transparency and seeing.  Comet C/2023 E1 (ATLAS) clearly shows its elusive plasma stream extending away from the sun.  Over three hours of data stacked into this image as the comet's tail bow's away (ever so slightly) from the comets movement - towards the left of screen.  I'm seeing a slight eccentricity for the fairly large coma also shortened on the leading side.  Might be my imagination though.  The original image is the inverted color while the revision is my final.
