Next chance I get, I will try imaging this comet core at 1x1 binning. The shots I posted are 3x3 binned, so have low resolution. With the 1x1 binning, I should pick up more detail by a factor of 2 from my experience with other images. It appears that a red filter really cuts through the dust to reveal inner core detail.
