Telescopic comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko - 9.11.2021 at 01.23 - 9.11.2021 at 05.00 Orimattila, Artjärvi, Viestikallio Observation number 102096

Visibility III / V

Jorma Ryske, Etelä-Suomen kosmol. seura

The comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko shows both the normal tail and the interesting dust trail in front of the comet in the negative images below. The dust trail has comet particles about 0.1 mm to 1 cm in size left by the comet in previous rounds. If the Earth went through this dustbin, it would show great stellar flights, but the Earth's orbit and the 67P / CG's orbits would not meet, unfortunately or fortunately.

Komea piikki.

Näissä ei käyttänyt CN-filsua?

Jorma Ryske - 9.11.2021 at 23.01 Report this

Kuvasin myös CN-filtterillä, yhteensä 3x50min valotukset. Niissä ei kuitenkaan näkynyt mitään kovin dramaattista CN suihkujen rakennetta. Ohessa lisäsin yhden CN 3883Å emission10x5min valotuksen kuvassa 4, cropattu kuvakenttä 12'. Kuvassa 5 on sama prosessoituna CometCIEFillä, siinä erottuu "taaksepäin" kaareutuva levenevä CN suihku alkaen suunnasta PA ~100deg.

Hieno havainto tuo pölyvana. Pitääpäs kaivella, josko näkyisi myös Hankasalmelta otetuissa kuvissa.
