For all the filters, the total scale of the image is 1.4′, which corresponds to a linear scale of 9.7 × 104 km at the comet. N is down, E to the left. The Sun is 3.2° N of E (PA of the comet: 266.8°). (top left) Final coadded image in the V filter for comet 32P/Comas Solá, obtained on the night of 6 October 2004, with overlayed contour plot. The faintest plotted isophote corresponds to 23.63 V-mag/arcsec2. (top right) Final coadded image in the I filter for comet 32P/Comas Solá, obtained on the night of 6 October 2004, with overlayed contour plot. The faintest plotted isophote corresponds to 23.05 I-mag/arcsec2. (bottom left) Final coadded image in the R filter for comet 32P/Comas Solá, obtained on the night of 6 October 2004, with overlayed contour plot. The faintest plotted isophote corresponds to 23.41 R-mag/arcsec2. (bottom right) The final R image enhanced by means of the radial renormalization method. The white + marks the optocentre.
