Description

This photo was taken on February 1st during the comet's closest approach to the earth. I processed it using StarXterminator to create starless comet-only images which were then aligned using the PixInsight Comet Align process and recombined with the separately aligned and calibrated stars.

This was taken with an one shot colour camera (60 x 60 sec exposures). Normally the RGGB Bayer matrix produces an unwanted green hue with deep space objects, but here I think it is particularly well suited.
