That's a very interesting concept-followed the links, shame the Am Astro PDF wasn't the best quality but still very interesting . Does it tempt you to have a go KK?

Very remarkable result. It looks like the body itself is visible. I marvel at the extaordinary techniques that have been developed over the years to enhance imaging in this way. Are there any Hubble pics that have come down of this comet.?. I have not seen any yet.
