Hi,

Here's comet Lemmon from last night 07/02/2013, I was lucky to get it with cloud allowing an hour window.

I used the ED80 again without the baader fringe killer, hoping to get more faint tail. I was surprised once the images started coming up to see the tail seems to be disconnected, with a knot half way along the tail. The disconnected section seems to be moving of in a different direction.

Not sure whats going on here??

I've supplied two images, the stacked image and a false colour single frame too show a little more detail.

This comet sure is interesting!
