Description

Third cut at a subset of the comet data from Friday 1-27-23.   This image is from about twenty 120 second exposures taken about 2:00. Taken with a William Optics GT71 scope, ASI294MC Pro camera and iOptron HEM 27 mount.  Processed and stacked with Pixinsight, GIMP, Apple, and Windows Edit.  The odd shape of the core is unexpected.  Not sure if this is real, or an oddity due to reflections or processing.
