Thanks for the link. I liked seeing the composite image, but I was confused by the L-shape path of the comet. I'm listening now to a google plus hangout where they are talking about gathering the data from Hubble and the processing that went into the image. https://plus.google.com/events/cekkcqbq3mavbdo2fea380oh83c This guy Max Mulcher explained that the shape of the path in the composite images had more to do with the orbit of Hubble and parallax then it did the comet itself. It's amazing how the "raw" images from Hubble look - speckled with dots and lines Max called cosmic rays. He said it's one of the disadvantages of having the telescope outside our protective atmosphere.

It's a composite of two images, ISON actually moved between exposures. But check out the galaxies! http://imgsrc.hubblesite.org/hu/hs-media/comet_ison_blog_entry/featured_imag...
