Thanks, Greg. The TEC data was at an image scale of 0.966 arcsec/pixel, so drizzled x2 it matched the RCOS at 0.55 arcsec/pixel pretty closely. I was able to use NB and RGB data from both.

Thanks, Kevin. It has very low surface brightness. Even with the substantial integration times there wasn't a lot of signal to work with.
