About this image

The main image is my latest image of Borisov's nebula made on 20th January. In my previous posting in December I described how there appeared to be a small change to the nebula since an image taken in August 2022. The arrow in the middle lower magnified detail image shows the star and 'swirl' which had reduced in intensity. Although when taking my latest image sky conditions were not as good as on previous occasions, this spot still appears to be less prominent than it was back in August. Perhaps not yet back to normal.
