The recent post of C/2016 M1 PANSTARRS by Mike and Trish inspired me to dredge up some data I had collected previously. I tried the same target two weeks ago and didn't like what I saw so assigned it to the digital graveyard of my external hard disk. After exhuming the corpse yesterday I started to wonder if I should try some RGB resuscitation to see if I could get a pulse. And so like Lazarus arisen from the dead - or perhaps more like Frankenstein's monster assembled and animated from dead parts - here is my Frankencomet. The coma is a bit smeared and there is background artefact from my registration attempt but after reprocessing, in the end it wasn't as grotesque and misshapen as I remembered. A higher resolution version is on
astrobin. This was 60 second exposures, 15x each of R, G and B.
