About this image

Comet Leonard with Larson-Sekanina rotational gradient processing. Grant Privett prompted me to try some processing to bring out the jet. The jet at circa PA 310 s very much highlighted as well as the numerous denser section of the tail. You can also see the star trails which were too faint to see in the unprocessed image. There does seem to be quite a lot of activity and the comet hasn't reached perihelion yet!
