Description

I learned about the fact that I was going to have a view of this comet in my eastern sky about 12 hours before this image was taken.  This is my first legitimate attempt to collect a tracked image of a comet, followed by processing that keeps the stars and comet sharp.  Looking at the raw data, I'm certain I can do better with the processing (especially getting more stars to emerge), but I'm pretty happy with this (preliminary?) result.  I look forward to the next comet!!
