Comet ISON

I had additional set of subs with 120sec exposure, but managed to make only 8 of them.
Processing them with dynamic range compression showed even more details of the core.

Z,  When the comet went bird like was it then in front of the camera and we are seeing the multi trails as they expand out from behind it. Even if it is 1 degree ahead I would think we would see the photo as wings. An optical illusion... I still only find the one rock in the center with a lot of trails. This rock must be made up of several elements that burn off in differnt directions at the same time. No spaceship, just a confused rock, confussing people. ..Deuem

I have NO IDEA  I am trying to track images to the source... but getting conflicting images.

Until they are sourced, they could be fake. The ones taken by telescopes by private people could be manipulated for focus

Yes, when the posted pic is enlarged, it has a very different shape, somewhat elongated whole with a separate center elongated-mass, and exterior curved shapes, end to end. Does everyone else see that?? I believe sky's comment about it looking "ship-like" means she sees it!

Click on the pic, to really see the detail!!

Ok, I would like to talk about the comet photo rdunk has in question.

I think we all agree this comet is a weird one. If yes read on.

I think we have seen it produce more than one trail:  read on

The close up shows a white section, call this the head and 3 distinct lines that bow out and then re-connect to another white area, call this the tail.  3 sections, head, lines and tail.  If you agree read on.

Where Opinion comes to play: read or not read but this is my opinion based on how Deuem sees it. [ I'm in the snake pit now ]

IMHO I see at least 3 comet trails that are spewing out causing the arc or bow and then coalescing in the rear to form the second white area. Again an optical illusion of reality! Not a UFO or mother ship with support arms. I use the word comet wake, because it reminds me of a boat going through the water and how the water is displaced.  It is not displacing space. It is displacing its own material.

If you have ever skied behind a boat you will see a cross area behind the engine wake where the 2 wakes go out and back in to cancel each other. Right behind that spot is the flattest water to ski in.

So IMHO I see nature at work here on a very weird comet and nothing else. I will leave the door open for closer better shots if found. This comet has to be made of several materials. Some hard some soft!  Next time around it will be even be better or fizzle out to just the hard stuff left.

At this time I just see a rock in the center with simple compression of the out gassing and nothing else.. 

Ok your turn in the pit!
