Description

I started to be concerned not to get one single image of this literally "once in a lifetime" comet. Bit finally, beginning of February, I got my opportunity.
I had never processed a comet before. And it turned out to be more time consuming than it thought. I did two separate stacks (registered on stars and registered on the comet). But I found it next to impossible to get rid of remaing traces of the "extracted stars" (using StarNet2). Finally I ended up to do eliminate the stars from each single sub and to eliminate artefacts from each sub manually.
Still, at the comets position in Auriga I had hardly captured any trace of a long jet.
