OK, I thought this was useless data, but apparently it just needed a lot of massaging. I took this image the other night and when I went out, the sky was full of thin clouds, and the data had terrible gradients in it. Anyway, I was bored tonight, and I also realized that I really needed a good comet image, so I gave this a shot. This is a 10:5:5:5 LRGB image, with only one 5-minute sub for each color, and two for the luminance.

I really like the obvious difference between the gas and dust tails in this comet, and nice green-blue color of the coma.
