Title: C/2022 E# and Mars Stack

Description: Here's the best I could do on a stacked image. I used DSS to stack on both comet and stars. but I had a lot of clouds blowing through the frames so gradients were a PITA. DSS really screws with the colors and made it really hard to balance them I did the best I could with the tools and data I had.
