Description

Since there is some misleading analysis floating around here I wanted to use some more powerful tools for analysis of that Gemini TIF file. This is all free software so you can just download QGIS and reproduce everything I'm showing here using the values from my screenshots.

No signs of anything weird going on here. But this is one of the better pictures I've seen of the comet once the colors are adjusted to reveal layers.

Original TIF image can be found here:
