Photo 1: The first image was captured in the visible spectrum, just as we would see it with the naked eye.
Photo 2: In the second, an inverse filter was applied to better highlight the comet's broad, visible tail.
Photo 3: In the third image, a Larson-Sekanina filter was applied, allowing for the observation of the comet's ejection jets—material expelled during its rotation that, upon sublimating (transitioning from solid to gas), contributes to the formation of its characteristic tail.
