Larry,

I don't know....

I clearly saw and imaged three star-like objects through the coma, but at
least one of them, and maybe two, looked far more "stellar" than the third.
I am wondering whether we're just seeing two background stars?!?!!?

Attached is a 30 sec image with a Canon digital rebel and eyepiece
projection though my AP 6" f9 taken tonight at ~ 10PM EDT. Absolutely no
post processing. You can see that the embedded "star" do not have equal
sharpness.

Peter

We have reports from another NHAS member that it is resolving into 3 pieces.
