C/2010 X1 Elenin in October 27, 2011   Message List

Re: C/2010 X1 Elenin in October 27, 2011



Thanks Terry,

It was astonishing for me that the tail was still very long beyond my
expectation and had somewhat complex structure with irregularities. I hoped to
image some debris other than the tail-like structure, but I failed to image
them. There may remain some possibility to image them with faster optics and
tracking system, for example with Metcalf method, which I can not apply now with
my equipment.

I tried another extreme enhancement of the frame. I feel that this frame shows
greenish ion coma as in other bright comets.

I'd like to thank J.J.Gonzalez, who presented his visual observation of the
comet on October 21, 2011. I could enjoy imaging of the comet as an amateur for
more than a week since then.
