[Atmob-discuss] Comet

[Mike Mattei]

Earlier I said I saw what I thought were 3 objects in the core, well it
turns out to be processing artifacts, sorry.
After more than an hour imaging the center area of the comet I can say I was
wrong there are no particles large enough to see. There is some action going
on in there I think, all I have to do is make a movie of the images to see
what changes.
 
There is a small central core almost stellar and a halo around it then
further out is the outer sphere which makes the comet look like a giant orb
with a bright spot in the middle of it, and very yellow looking. There is an
irregular shape to the area right near the core and fan shaped. Maybe in a
few days a tail will develop from it.
