Aug. 29, 2014

True color image of comet C/2014 E2 (Jacques), obtained on 2014 Aug. 29 (20h35-21h09UT) with 60-cm, f/3.3 Deltagraph telescope and LBVR filters. Average combined from 12x15 seconds exposures in each filter. Image scale is 3.75 arc sec/pixel. Copyright © 2014 by H. Mikuz, Èrni Vrh Observatory.

Same as above, but median combined and further enhanced with FFT filters to bring out the comet image in full detail. Including delicate and thin ion tail. Image scale is 3.75 arc sec/pixel. Copyright © 2014 by H. Mikuz, Èrni Vrh Observatory.

True color image of comet C/2014 E2 (Jacques), obtained on 2014 Aug. 28 (21h21-22h11UT) with 60-cm, f/3.3 Deltagraph telescope and LBVR filters. Exposure time was 20x10 seconds in each filter. The comet was at closest approach to Earth on Aug. 28, moving across the rich stellar fields in Cassiopeia. In order to bring out the comet fine detail, the images were median combined and further enhanced with FFT filters. Image scale is 3.75 arc sec/pixel. Copyright © 2014 by H.
