ASTRO: Deep Holmes with halo for George

If 100 seconds of data is deep. I fought clouds all night hoping to
make a movie but it wasn't to be. One frame though was in clear skies.
So I processed it deep down to the noise to bring out the halo. Seems
that is gas as it has the typical green color. This is one pretty
comet. I reduced it 50% mainly as there's no detail at that level to be
seen anyway.

Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct.
Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh".

That's gorgeous, Rick. Thanks for sharing that one.

Yep, the halo is nice green in your image, like it should be. It is not
bright enough to show "real" colour in my images.

Even a color-blind fellow like myself can see the green it this one Rick!


After the 'high scruff' cloud cleared out last night my friend Lew H and I
had some great views of Holmes from my front yard using my 20x80's and his
C-5i. The nucleus was visible in the 20x80's and of course easy in the C-5
using a 16mm Nagler. The outer envelope was easier to see in the binocs
because of the wider field. I was going to take out one of my larger scopes
but the cloud discouraged me. The skunk who showed up just about moonrise
also discouraged us!
