Description

While not the most impressive comets this image is a huge victory for me. I captured the data with LRGB filters on the ASI 1600mm-Pro but it was extremely challenging to get everything to look 'good'. Lots of trial and error until I finally got it. Even still I feel I may go back and see if I can process it better. I am now excited to take a stab at my Comet Neowise data from years earlier.
This image is made up of 58, 120s exposures.
