C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) - 2024-10-20 00:48 UTC

            This is my best comet image to date. I can see a fair amount of detail in the dust tail, and a decent showing of the "forward" pointing ion tail. 

I am not able to identify the fuzzy blob seen directly above the nucleus as seen in this image. PixInsight Annotation script does not show an object at this location. I cannot see an outburst in any of the subframe data. Please comment with any ideas.
