Notes:


  • A feeble attempt to overlay the first few evenings of visibility  of C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS after perihelion. 

  • Just curious to see what similarities in morphology might be present in the highly evolving lighting conditions of twilight and  moonlight.

  • Strictly star alignment only.  Anti-tail cut of is due to framing and lack of coverage. 

  • No attempt has been made to standardize backgrounds.

  • Hard to believe these are the same comet although my processing routine were similar.  Again lighting effects.

  • Full moon and weather hampered imaging for the next three days

I guess Unicorns are uncommon in the comet realm.
