Thanks Dan!
Third Halley's comet mosaic (and I think my last dayside fullres mosaic for long time). It's full version resampled at 25 m/pix. -------------------- |

Almost all of the details in that "map" are artifacts. It's full of jagged transitions between bright and dark that don't correspond to anything whatsoever in the real world. Nobody's posted anything like that because nobody's interested in artifacts.
Here is a map: https://solarviews.com/cap/comet/halmap.htm |
