Description

Really pleased with how this came out given the limited amount of data I have so far (1 hour). There will be more attempts at this one if the weather permits.

Fixed all my previous problems from attempting Neowise, including using tracking and longer exposures to fully sample the comet, and leaving some time in between subsequent exposures to move the stars enough image to image to allow them to be rejected during the master comet stack.

I used, almost to a T, the comet processing workflow described here.
