Another image from 2053 - 0057, 12th-13th April 2020. Baader 610 filter. Both linear - no gamma applied. Raw and sharpened.

The detached component continues to brighten - at least relative to the rest of the object. In the raw image it has a slightly lower peak surface brightness than the diffuse peak further downstream, but is much more concentrated. Suggests new activity from a compact source rather than a diffusing cloud. In the sharpened image it has a significantly brighter maximum.
