Thanks Dennis,
Those are some more excellent images. What does it look like when the comet occults the star?
I used to work with an optical engineer named Dan Grieser (the MP (10482) Dangrieser is named for him) who wanted to record an absorption spectrum of a comet as it occulted a bright star. Unfortunately we were never able to get a comet to cooperate. With today's equipment I think he would have been more successful.
