Description

Updated processing to get the most out of the tail and clear up the light pollution/haze.



Probably my last one in the current lunar cycle, this is again a DSS 3.3.4 stack of 8x120s (10 darks/flats) at ISO 1600, 300mm f/4 on Canon 5D3 tracked on an Astrotrac, processed in Lightroom to emphasize the tail -- getting much better results now with the longer exposure.



Bonus: lots of cool nice faint fuzzy ~200M light-yr distant galaxies visible on the original 100% in the Perseus-Pisces Supercluster (visible in crop just above and left of coma - NGC 1060/1066 trios in Triangulum).
