The comet head shows a remarkable level of transparency to small
background stars in this image.

My own brief view through the 6" (before yet more cloud) showed a
single star within the "nuclear fuzz' and much firmer (almost-starlike)
central brightening of the nucleus at 45x and 80x. Not at all like this
fine image where the head looks almost uniform in density.
