Description

Major "shoutout" to Richard Kelley who processed my target and calibration subs with PixInsight. He removed the stars from each sub, stacked them on the comet, and then overlayed the result on one frame of the stars. I had tried using DSS in the "comet and stars" mode to achieve a similar result with a much poorer outcome. I took his composite and tweaked it a bit in Photoshop - also deciding to crop the image.

Having trouble finding the right path through the acquisition details to record the following:

Number of subs: 27
Duration of each sub: 60 seconds
ISO: 1600
Total Integration: 27 minutes

Darks: 20
Flats: 15
Bias: 25

Skies: Bortle 5.5
