Description

My first attempt at this approaching comet. Not a great result as I shot through wispy clouds, but is certainly the best comet shot I've produced. It rose above my horizon at around 3:00 AM, so it was second in line behind another target for the first few hours of the night. I tried Adam Blocks new process of star removal on the comet aligned images. While it took a quite a while to remove the stars on 100 images, it did work and produced a better result than using pixel rejection to remove the stars at the time of integration.
