29p 20201112 jfs

Here attached are some jpegs of single frames from Nov 11 and today Nov 13 that possibly appear to show spikes in the coma around the quiscent nucleus.
The images are 60 sec exposures through a Sloan r' filter with the 2.0-m FTS depicting an area 10' square.
 
If real, they cannot be 'jets' as they extend many tens of thousands of kilometres. I prefer to call them 'outflows'

Interesting.
 
Nothing evident on a stack of 4x60s images with a 2.0-m on 2020 11 11.58.
 
Strangely I have noticed this type of effect on stacks before when a large number of frames are used.
The spikes look very symmetrical rather like a diffraction effect but they are not orthogonal.
 
Unfortunately no 2.0-m images today but I shall schedule more directly.

Good evening Richard.

=> T200 Remote, France :
Sans Filtre
Rayon : 6.6"
Depuis deux jours, avec un bon seeing sur Dauban, il me semble voir des jets (4?) qui forment une croix autour du pseudo noyau ?
Vous pouvez confirmer avec une résolution professionnelle ?
