10 minutes worth of data from 12P/Pons Brooks (once I had binned all the hazy shots which caused weird green banding) whilst it was 13 degrees above the horizon to the west here in Herne Bay. It's the first time I've properly got any kind of structure from a comet whilst using my Star Adventurer 2i with my D7500 with a standard Nikon 70 - 300 mm lens on it. The comet was easily visible alongside Hamal (mag 2) in the same FOV through my 7x50 binoculars although I certainly did not expect to see such detail through stacking. I hope to catch more in the future and perhaps upgrading my gear a bit more!
