About this image

ITV News were filming a news bulletin on the comet tonight at NLO and skies were very obliging! This is a short series of 8 sec exposures on the nuclear region. The colour is nicely recorded but even those short exposures with 50cm saturated the pseudo nucleus so haven't got shells etc.
