Solwind-7 Images

Aligning the images on one of the hot spots removes the image shift

Aligning the images on the head of the comet gives this result

No images were taken during the next revolution around the Earth. The next sequence of five images is from the second half of the next but one revolution (05:02:46 - 05:20:32 UTC). All five images aligned on one of the hot spots:

Ten images 06:12:02 - 06:56:05 UTC aligned on one of the hot spots:

Five images 07:47:49 - 08:07:23 UTC aligned on one of the hot spots:
