Yes, I agree the those groups need good data from amateur images.

Kevin Parker's recent well balanced image, balanced on the star images gives good magnitude and even some spectral data. The physical structure and its extent can be increased in stretched images, like those of RobK for the previous big Lovejoy comet. Tail distance increased and could be directly compared to those seen in STEREO images. So, while some intensity and spectral info maybe lost by stretching positional and structural info is made more apparent. And when a sequence is made dynamic elements can be shown.

kind regards, Alan
