Description

Well, I am not quite sure if my PC an I like comets 
It was quite a struggle in terms of computational power (initially applied 270 times StarXTerminator which took nearly 40h of processing time even though using a recent ryzen9 PC) learning curve and realizing that stacking of all those frames didn't really contribute to the visibility of the gas tail since it is not static enough.
So nevertheless I ended up using 200 frames of 45" each in the night from 29/01 to 30/01 between 00:30 an 03:00 which was the only clear night for ages at my place.
The latest repositioning of the scope also treated me with multiple tiny galaxies in the background so I used this starfield as a reference and merged it with the starless comet image.
Hope you like it...
