Description

This is the first time I've tried to image, or really even observe, a comet. 

It was amazing to click on individual subs and see the comet move.

Some lessons learned:

1. 5 minutes is too long for individual subs for comets.  (Maybe 60 seconds instead?)
2. AstroPixelProcessor comet registration doesn't work well across a median flip (I threw away 5 subs on the wrong side of the flip)

Lots to learn here, and I want to see if I can figure out how to remove the stars and reapply to eliminate the trails.
