Details:
Tried to visualize the structure of the head of the comet which often are over-exposed in other pictures.
This image is the sum of 2 images taken 16:54 & 17:06. Because of the comets motion, the background stars
seems to be doubles.
The comet is almost between the Earth and the Sun. Distance from Earth : 0.489au.
Sun distance (au): 0.525 Perihel : 19. April 2026 Sun distance : 0,50
Time: 2026/04/26 16:54 & 17:060
