Antares Spectrum
The Star & thinner spectrum is as captured, and underneath I stretched out the spectrum vertically and added it in so you can see it a bit easier. This is a thin & wide img, best viewed on a pc

I could image the comet after the outburst on November 14, 2013.
This is a quickly processed version. North is up, and East is to the left.
Here is the multiple-length exposure version.

The coma looked elongated in north to south direction on a frame with exposure for one second.
There seems to exist not only bluish but yellowish white part in the complex structure of the tail. Vikrant Kumar Agnihotri presented a result of spectral analysis of the comet on November 16 with Rspec star analyzer SA-100 showing that there were emission lines of C2 and one near 600nm.

I suspect the line near 600nm may be of sodium, Na, at 589.6nm and 589.0nm. The comet may already have been showing sodium tail two weeks before the perihelion on November 28, 2013.
I feel that this appearance of comet with multiple streams of plasma tail resembles those seen in the dramatic outburst of 17P/Holmes in November 3, 2007.

Let me make it clear. There is no 2015 Ford Falcon GT.
But, what if there was - what might it be like?
Well, that is not *quite* true. The XR8 model 2015 Falcon, gets pretty much all the good stuff from the 2014 GT:
335 kW 5.0 Litre V8 'Miami'
Big Brembo Brakes
Upgraded 'Panther' tires and chassis
Upgrade seats and boost gauges
But it is not a GT.
But if there was one, how would it step up the game a notch or two?
Well, I'm glad you asked.
Engine:
The 2014 GT and 2015 XR8 shared the higher spec of two engines originally developed for the 2010 upgrade to the Falcon FPV (Ford Performance Vehicles). The GS had the lower spec 315 kW version. The two are fundamentally the same. There are only a couple of physical parts that are different.
Last year, as a last hurrah of the GT, a special 351 kW version was developed, and sold at the 'GT 351' (500 vehicles for Australia and 50 for New Zealand).
But could you get more out of the engine yet? The simple answer to this question is - Yes. The fundamental basics of the Aussie 'Miami' engine are shared with the 'Coyote' engine developed for the North American Ford Mustang. In standard US GT tune, this develops nearly as much power (~307 kW, base).Move to the similarly supercharged 'Shelby GT 500' however, and things get a little bit crazy.
The engine measures a swept capacity of 5.8 litres. Power extends to 494 kW (662 hp) and torque to 856 Nm (631 lb.ft) - besting even the new Ferrari 488. The engine is backed up by the Tremec TR-6060 6-speed manual transmission, the same as used by the Falcon.
Will it fit? Yes.
Will it go? Well, one would think that it might need a bit more grip....
Chassis:
If there was one area of the Falcon that allowed it to be out-powered in the showroom, it was probably wheels and tires. The top powertrain at the FG launch in 2008 was a 290 kW 'Boss'. This engine, being naturally aspirated, was also a little light on low-end torque, so it tended not to fry the tires off from a launch. Move to the turbocharged/supercharged engines, and things tended to get a little messy.
Enter 'Panther'. Panther was a code name to finally take the rear end of a Falcon. The Panther was officially called GT Rspec, and provided 275mm wide rubber on 19 inch alloys.
Add another 300Nm though, and you probably are going to need 335s....
Just saying.
The FGX losing the GT versions also meant an end to the wild wing and stripes of the FPV variants, so you'd probably want to bring some more of that back again.
And why not replicate one of the GT Rspec livery combinations, courtesy of the 'Western Outlaws', black paint, with red wheels, grille, rear spoiler, rear-view-mirror caps and bonnet bulge.
The 'Western Outlaws' are a fictional car enhancement company, and the reason for this fictional Ford Falcon GT-X in Lego miniland scale, for Flickr LUGNuts' 87th Build Challenge, - "A Tale of Two Rivals", - a challenge to create vehicles in one of two colour liveries: The Eastern Rebels (Black, Dark Grey and yellow), of the Western Outlaws (Black, Red and Tan).

2012 FPV FG GT RSpec sedan. Operated by NSW Police Highway Patrol - Traffic Services Branch. This is a one of a kind specially built by Ford Performance Vehicles for NSW HWP. The standard GT RSpec puts out 335 kW, this car has had the output boosted to over 400 kW. It was built to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the NSW Police in 2012, and is used to promote road safety. The engine rocker cover was autographed by Ford racing legend Dick Johnson at the cars launch. The strut tower has also been signed by Johnson, and another racing legend Colin Bond. Call sign HWP150. Taken at the 2013 Shannon's Eastern Creek Classic display day, held at Sydney Motorsport Park.

Last year, as a last hurrah of the GT, a special 351 kW version was developed, and sold at the 'GT 351' (500 vehicles for Australia and 50 for New Zealand).
But could you get more out of the engine yet? The simple answer to this question is - Yes. The fundamental basics of the Aussie 'Miami' engine are shared with the 'Coyote' engine developed for the North American Ford Mustang. In standard US GT tune, this develops nearly as much power (~307 kW, base).Move to the similarly supercharged 'Shelby GT 500' however, and things get a little bit crazy.
The engine measures a swept capacity of 5.8 litres. Power extends to 494 kW (662 hp) and torque to 856 Nm (631 lb.ft) - besting even the new Ferrari 488. The engine is backed up by the Tremec TR-6060 6-speed manual transmission, the same as used by the Falcon.
Will it fit? Yes.
Will it go? Well, one would think that it might need a bit more grip....
Chassis:
If there was one area of the Falcon that allowed it to be out-powered in the showroom, it was probably wheels and tires. The top powertrain at the FG launch in 2008 was a 290 kW 'Boss'. This engine, being naturally aspirated, was also a little light on low-end torque, so it tended not to fry the tires off from a launch. Move to the turbocharged/supercharged engines, and things tended to get a little messy.
Enter 'Panther'. Panther was a code name to finally take the rear end of a Falcon. The Panther was officially called GT Rspec, and provided 275mm wide rubber on 19 inch alloys.
Add another 300Nm though, and you probably are going to need 335s....
Just saying.
The FGX losing the GT versions also meant an end to the wild wing and stripes of the FPV variants, so you'd probably want to bring some more of that back again.
And why not replicate one of the GT Rspec livery combinations, courtesy of the 'Western Outlaws', black paint, with red wheels, grille, rear spoiler, rear-view-mirror caps and bonnet bulge.
The 'Western Outlaws' are a fictional car enhancement company, and the reason for this fictional Ford Falcon GT-X in Lego miniland scale, for Flickr LUGNuts' 87th Build Challenge, - "A Tale of Two Rivals", - a challenge to create vehicles in one of two colour liveries: The Eastern Rebels (Black, Dark Grey and yellow), of the Western Outlaws (Black, Red and Tan).
Plus, if you really wanted to create this car, you could.....

2012 FPV FG GT RSpec sedan. Operated by NSW Police Highway Patrol - Traffic Services Branch. This is a one of a kind specially built by Ford Performance Vehicles for NSW HWP. The standard GT RSpec puts out 335 kW, this car has had the output boosted to over 400 kW. It was built to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the NSW Police in 2012, and is used to promote road safety. The engine rocker cover was autographed by Ford racing legend Dick Johnson at the cars launch. The strut tower has also been signed by Johnson, and another racing legend Colin Bond. Call sign HWP150. Taken at the 2013 Shannon's Eastern Creek Classic display day, held at Sydney Motorsport Park.
Let me make it clear. There is no 2015 Ford Falcon GT.
But, what if there was - what might it be like?
Well, that is not *quite* true. The XR8 model 2015 Falcon, gets pretty much all the good stuff from the 2014 GT:
335 kW 5.0 Litre V8 'Miami'
Big Brembo Brakes
Upgraded 'Panther' tires and chassis
Upgrade seats and boost gauges
But it is not a GT.
But if there was one, how would it step up the game a notch or two?
Well, I'm glad you asked.

One more thingAlthough Japan Tourism Agency Commissioner Hiroshi Mizohata confirmed his plans to invite 10000 foreigners to Japan and pay for their tickets, the budget didn't go through - which means no more free tickets. Fortunately - I have some free tickets because I'll be paying your fare to Japan if I hire you. I'll obviously be sponsoring your visa too. Welfare and health insurance will be taken care of too.
I managed to get a few Ruby part timers but am still looking for full time Ruby developers. I'm looking for folks who have a high level of ruby on rails, html, css, javascript, coffeescript, jquery, rspec, postgresql, github, loves anime, loves Japan and can speak enough Japanese to get about daily life.
Developers will be working to migrate our Mirai Gaia platform to rails and continue to add features which improve usability and increase conversion. All clients are either anime or game related.
Candidates should send mail to [jobs at mirai dot fm] with a link to their GitHub account and links to previous projects that they have worked on.
Same applies to any Content Managers that I hire - I'll pay for your fare over to Japan too and sponsor your visa.
Folks who join me in Japan will be working with all my clients and be working in figure and anime merchandise production together with TV and web production. You will learn the tools required for the job as well as learn the ropes of the anime business in Japan. I dont have any illusions about you working for me forever and I'll mentor and train you as much as I can so that you can make the decisions that you need to make in your career.
If this sounds like your cuppa tea and you have the skills then I'll be waiting to hear from you. But please bear in mind - while this is a hobby, its also a business too and am looking for folks who are serious about pursuing a career in the Japanese anime business.
I believe that arms installation is complete - Good Luck! I'll be answering questions in the comments - you may want to skim for answers before asking the same questions ^^
