Description

I was very hesitant to post this, but in the end it is cool to me. 1st time actually photographing a comet that I can't see with my naked eye. The tail did actually span through more of the image, but by the time I got the contrast the way I wanted it most of the tail was gone, thus why it looks so far off center. It is only 15 - 1 minute subs stacked in APP. I wanted to use all my data, (35 minutes) but I can't figure out how to get the comet to show without any trailing in the stars and in the nucleus of the comet.
Any tips you can give me are very welcome!

Dale
