Description

In this image of the comet I rotated through the LRGB subs L R G B L R G B till I had 20 subs of each.  My filters are parfocal so I only focused during temperature changes of >-=1 degree. This worked so much better than shooting all subs of each filter and then moving to the next filter. I did not experience any of the color shift problems I had in the previous image.

It's amazing how much the comet has changed from when I shot it just a few days earlier.
