Hi all, got 2 more I have posted. one is just stacked and color 
combined. The second, I processed slightly to enhance contrast, and... 
can see a jet coming from the core. This comet is very bright in the 32 
inch! Interestingly though the core is not as bright as a few nights 
ago, so once this outer hood dissipates likely to start declining in 
brightness. I think it is brighter right now because the hood is still 
expanding. Interesting jet still coming from the core though. this was 
taken at 1AM. Still pink in images, but visually loosing its color.
