Details:
Wonderful winter evening with friends and a lot of meteors. Average sikes at our close to the city observing place, but 46P made quite a show, being visible with the naked eye, binoculars and our friend s 10 inch dob. I shot a widefield color camera that framed the Pleiades with 46P, a narrowfield L camera for the nucleus and some wide lenses for meteors. The Larson Sekanina function was applied on this 120 30s image stack to reveal faint jets emanating from the nucleus. The stack without the transformation shows the faint tail, and an anti tail. I hope my data is okay and i also attach the 2 opposing tails picture stack, the second one being very very faint and also visibile in the L-S photo. Clear skies everyone!
