That's an amazing image!
I've been looking through the cloud when it clears a little, not managed to find anything other than more cloud.
You mention using the Vixen star tracker for the exposures, do comets follow any form of standard astronomical metrics?
I don't have a portable star tracker and was contemplating using my EQ5 PRO but figured if I didn't know rotational speed I may as well stick with a 200mm lens on a standard camera tripod.
They obviously WON'T be 15 second exposures if the sky ever clears up and I get to taking images.
Though I could build a rough star tracker and probably have everything here to do it but it would be quick and rough, slightly better than zero tracking.
I have 3 working principles:
1: Good and cheap, it won't be fast
2: Cheap and fast, it won't be good
3: Good and fast, it won't be cheap.
