This comet still putting on a show even though its getting fainter.

Stunning capture!
We've still got cloud and rain locally so I'll get it next time around, only another 71 years.....

Well done Rick!

I use about the same focal length but I can't get DSS to do a clean combo stacking of comet + stars.
Did you use DSS?

Great shot, Rick

Yes I used DSS, I found the comet was fairly slow moving so I just stacked on the stars. The comet might be a bit blurred but not noticeable. I probably should try comet stacking and check the difference.

Thanks for clarifying. I will revisit my data and try something like that.
