Comet Elenin pictures September 2nd, 2011 See Comet Elenin's Nucleus Intact (Mirror) ThePerfectMinds

These images were taken September 2nd, 2011. All were taken on the same telescope. The reason the comet looks different in each one or the same is because of the filter used to see Comet Elenin C/2010 X1.

Luminance filters return a lot of the visible light but they also take in a lot of ambient light from the atmosphere. That's why those filters are best for very dark skies. The skies around Comet Elenin are anything but dark.

The Ha (Hydrogen alpha( filter produced a wonderful image of what I believe to be Comet Elenin's Nucleus or at least the light visible using the Ha filter was return in a compact and tight return. It looks like the nucleus to me. When added together with the SII filter, which looks like a baseball, I have no other choice but to believe the nucleus is intact.

The "I" filter produced the ice cream cone top. The return was rounded to the north of the image and scalloped to the south. I found each image to be unique. I wish I could get them stacked in a way that brought out the comet with all the parts together. I will be working on that over the next week.

Last night I was unable to image the comet.

was the photos taken in Texas or was this taken from a telescope in Australia?? I didn't think it was visible at night in the Northern Hemisphere..

great pics thanks for sharing...now this raises an eyebrow, why is nasa telling us it' desintegrated, cause of what i can see in you shots it's perfectly ok...they should hire you :)

PEOPLE WAKE UP THE OBJECT THAT APPEARED MONTHS AGO ON GOOGLE SKY WHEN YOU TYPE MERCURY AND THEN PUT IT AS INFRARED THE OBJECT IS THE SAME POSITION OF ELENIN ITSELF WHEN YOU COMPARED IT WITH NASA JPL IT IS MOVING THE SAME DIRECTION AS ELENIN IT IS ELENIN SOME SHOULD MAKE A VEDIO ABOUT IT!

well done man, no many could show this shots, and you did it.

@RADARULES "The Perfect Minds' posted these images, I think. He's very informative and seems to know his stuff, without wild speculation.
