Description

Finally! The clouds parted (somewhat) to allow me to get out and shoot.

NOTE: For those looking for the "green" comet with binoculars or a telescope, it Does Not look like this. It is more like a blurry star.

And as others have pointed out, comets are a different breed to process. This is only 35 minutes of integration. I had to toss quite a few subs out due to clouds and framing issues. The comet travels fast and I had to recenter quite often.

This is version 1, I'm still working on my widefield version.

Stacked/processed in PI. Minor final editing in PS/LR
