Description

This is my first time trying to make a combined commet image.  I imaged a comet exactly once before and animated it moving across the sky.  That effect was really fun, but I wanted to get a nice comet with starfield this time around.  I spent a lot of time experimenting with different exposures, and I'm still working out how to get reliable comet tracking, and how to stack that type of image.

BUT.  Here, I have a series of 60s subs, tracked on stars, taken through LRGB filters.  Each sub had the comet removed from the starfield with StarNet2, and stars and comet were stacked and processed seaparately.
