They're Continuing to Prove My Point --- as the comet gets closer, where are the pictures from the big telescopes???

Right after my November 14th picture caused such a commotion, NASA hurriedly put up a recent picture to make up for the fact they hadn't posted any for months. Did they post a picture from Mt. Palomar or another big telescope??? NO!!! They posted this from the Observatory in Slovenia!!! SLOVENIA ???? This is from a telescope a lot like mine - well maybe not quite as good. When I get a bigger telescope, I'm donating my current one to Slovenia.


And they Still Think We're Stupid!!

And one of the last pictures to be posted before the comet disappeared behind the sun for awhile came from the "famous" Swabian Observatory in Germany. They used a C-14 telescope, a 14 inch scope not unlike many amateurs own. Notice that this is a 60 second exposure so any "companion" that might have been behind the comet nucleus is hidden in the glare of the over-exposed coma of the comet.

(That black spot on the right picture is my doing to show a potential position of a "companion.") Why is the image of the nucleus elongated? 60 seconds is not enough time to "stretch" the comet image due to its motion. Notice the stars are near perfect points of light. Why is the nucleus "stretched" unless there is something like a "companion" adding to the length of the over-exposed white area?
