Ah, just been looking at someone else's version on Cloudy Nights and the bit below the nucleus, which I was trying to remove, is actually a feature, an "anti-tail" 8) . Now I'll have to reprocess again with less of a crop at the bottom.
You captured it! Good colour there. I did wonder why it was cropped so tightly. Yes, don't cut off the anti-tail.

Thanks Mark. This is the image scale, not a drastic crop except the sides and 200ish pixels at the bottom. I might go for stars and comet stacks and leave the crop alone.
Looks good Duncan.
It will be included in next minths images as l already sent tge file to the Chairman and Dec and Jan combined are already large so spreading it iut a bit.
