Description

Although I took over 700 sub frames of 15 seconds each, this image is only a stack of 40.  That's only 10 minutes!!!  That's why it is so messy.  I had to limit my exposure time since the comet was moving over 19,000"/day.  When I stack more than 10 minutes worth of subs, the plasma tail blurs.  I perhaps will stack all the images one day...when computers are significantly faster!
