Now for Something Completely Different, Dual RASA11, asi 6200mmP & 6200mcP, Starless SuperLum, C/2020 V2 (ZTF), 2023-02-19

Only showing the Super-Luminance image from two simultaneously operating RASA 11's imaging comet C/2020 V2 (ZTF).  Not a "pretty" picture but with a little star removal (StarXterminator didn't do well here), I've made a superlum by combining 20 x 180seconds from the mono camera with the 21 x 180secs OSC camera (separated masters RGB channels).  This effectively doubles my time on target.

What's next?  Pretty picture time by using the superlum as the L channel in a LRGB combination.  I'm on the road tomorrow so I won't be able to continue the process for a day or two.  
Should be interesting to see the results...I've also repeated the capturing process on C/2022 E3 and am eager to see if I can coax out any more tail structure.
