Description

This is a status snapshot from April 14th 20:00 to 20:30 UTC showing the disintegrating comet.

Although this is a 1:4 crop taken with the Hypergraph 150f2.8 the discrete fragments can be identified already (zoom-in).

There seems to be a shock-bow in front"-ish" and "semi"-surrounding the comt's core. Can you confirm this on your images from that night?

When the single frames are daisy-chained a highly dynamic behaviour can be observed on both, at the core and the tail. Still working on it..... Of course, this wide-angle optics is not the ideal instrument to zoom-in on such small stuff, but.... better than not imaged at all! ;-)
