Hi Nick,
The sodium emission is so intense in the spectrum that I wonder if there is any sign of a sodium tail like in Hale Bopp? I hope to take a spectrum of a cross section through the tails if the weather cooperates but a narrow band image though an Na D pass filter could be interesting. Not a common filter among amateurs though I guess. The inverse filter response is more common !
