About this image

I make no apologies. Its a naked eye comet. I will photo it whenever I can. This was from a bunch of frames where I was trying different ISOs. Came out quite nicely. I sum stacked, cropped, removed vignetting, removed residual background and then white balanced the thing before tweaking the contrast. All done using AstroArt7. Nothing clever.

Quite a few meteors around tonight. Plus 3 glow worms...
