Description

As the comet melts, it shows a different look every day. It is quite difficult to bring out the details in the tail by stacking images at the risk of over-averaging them given the speed at which everything changes. I opted for an approach that minimized this effect but at the cost of a lot more work.

But what a show this one brings us!!!!
