- Below are calculations of brightness over background for Dec 4 2002 images. The Planet was imaged close to a Star and this may effect to some degree the light intensity of Planet X. The data shows a brightening object compared to previous dates.

Using Cadet to create Sum Summary 0 to 10 and Master Dark no enhancement. Avis recognized object. Avis Fits File Viewer to record pixel tables. Brightness background from Dust Cloud and Tail Analysis table.
Background taken = 6049 / 31 = 195
312 160 195 100 % over Background = 160 %
To Date
Sept 21 2002 = 115%
Oct 4 2002 = 114%
Oct 11 2002 = 115%
Nov 11 2002 = 133%
Nov 15 2002 = 147%
Dec 4 2002 = 160%
The Star close to Planet X may be causing some outlining of the swirl that accompanies the Planet. Reflection or backlighting may be involved, both from Planet X and the Star. But things are definitely getting brighter! Back in Sept/Oct 2002 we were looking at Planet X at 115 % of background. Now its at 160%! It would appear its trailing moons are reflecting at over 120%! And a Tail
Background 6049 / 31 = 195
105 % over background coloured for contrast = 205
120 % over background coloured for contrast = 234
