Description

The first comet shot was undersampled.  In this image, I took a lot more lights and paused 2 minutes between each image to assist in processing.  I was also able to use photometric color calibration by manual entry of Dec and RA,  something I was not able to do with the first image so I think the color is probably closer in this view.
