[BAA Comets] C/2019Y4 images. - clear breakup.

[Nick Haigh]

Hi folks, hot off the press:

Sorry for scattergun email, its late and i need to go to bed but thought these would interest.

As I wrote in the facebook comet watch post, these are

1) unprocessed, just cropped and stretched linearly.
2) sharpened with an iterative gaussian algorithm (which I trust!)
3) same image, with gamma stretch to bring out contrast.
4) the raw fits (cropped) from DSS if you want to look at that.

This is 220mins of 10sec subs, again with the Baader 610 filter, ASI1600MM, 12" Newt, same as usual, yadda yadda. 0.72"/pixel.

Seeing was exceptional. Looking somewhat like SL9!!!

April 8th 23:40 to 01:54 April 9th (about an hour ago!)

Cheers!!

Nick
