13p 20240810 dbartlett

Following the previous night where the main plasma jet seem to emanate from a higher quadrant of the comet's nuclei, here 13P/ Olbers has a thinning yet twofold directional split of the main jet.  The crescent moon was present so I reduced the exposure time to 30 secs per frame.  Not an attractive look but hey, it's an image for the archives.
