Chris -
Yes, the image was processed, but my point was that Terry's photo was
taken in the daylight, with sun nearly overhead from his location.
Here's his response:
Bernie,
Sorry, I was being lazy with my description and have
updated it! It is essential the same image as the one
marked January 12 at:
http://www.pbase.com/terrylovejoy/image/72716955
but processed much less aggressively (and is actually
very close to how the comet actually looks through a telescope). The
sun was nearly overhead (80 degrees above the horizon) and the comet was
just to the suns north.
Best Regards,
Terry

Bernie, its an artificially colored composite. Be
wary!
