Description

40 60-second exposures each for R, G, and B tracked on the comet, composited with a quick starfield image from where it started that night. By that time the comet had completely moved out of its original frame, which made processing easier at least. Even at 60 seconds the stars were streaking considerably; star alignment wasn't possible, so I just relied on comet alignment alone.

This would be a lot easier with a OSC camera...
