This is a first animation trial on this comet. Images were taken with this in mind and I had to accept a much higher noise level as usual.
38frames, 20sec each, iso3200, 40sec pause between frames
The images were taken on April 14th between 19:59 and 20:32 UTC and I think at least two fragments are "visible" .... or "guessable". Of course, this instrument is not exactly ideal for such small details but the conversion into gifs caused a serious dataloss ontop of this. The single frames look much better than the animated ones. I used gimp to animate the frames, trying out different input formats but jpg was the best.... (!) yes, hard to believe but, ....
Howsoever, it is a document of the time... ;-)
What those frames look like when stacked together can be seen here:

Clear Skies!
