Seems to be a fluctuation in how much "fireball" we see vs how much extended and increasingly nebulous ejecta.
I agree Jon.
I was worried that there was something wrong with my instrument response but I checked it carefully using various processing methods. I kept coming up with the same response so I ageee that it seems to be real.
It will be much easier in a month when it rises at a better time.
