About this video
In this video, I break down the extraordinary Hubble images released earlier and recent pictures this week and compare them with the data I captured from my backyard in Leander, Texas. Hubble shows clear structure in the coma β a bright central condensation and a directional dust flow that hints at rotation. Using my RASA-11 and long-exposure imaging, I was able to trace the same core signature and motion across multiple frames.
Youβll see the cometβs movement, brightness changes, and how the nucleus region appears to shift from frame to frame β all processed carefully to bring out structure without adding anything that isnβt there. No guessworkβ¦just real photons and real motion.
Thank you for supporting this journey and helping bring real-world astrophotography to the world. More Hubble comparisons, more comet science, and more deep-sky adventures coming soon.
