Description

A couple of first for this imaging session.  First time using my new ASI2600MC as I recently upgraded from the ASI533MC and the first time trying to capture a comet.

For processing, I used the video put out by the Youtube channel "View Into Space" for processing this comet using a OSC camera.  Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pnMkzkn5Xw

Biggest surprise was that it took almost 8 hours for StarXterminator to remove all the stars from the comet aligned images.  

Total integration was 116 x 180s = 5h 48m

Overall very happy with the final result.
