About this image

This is a composite of four different night's observations, all in colour showing the expansion of the comet after the outbursts that ended on 27th September. The image on 28th September was through a luminance filter but the others are unfiltered and colour balanced exactly the same as each other. The latest image is a stach of 10x300secons, the other images are atll stacks at 180seconds. 29P is currently in part of its orbit where it barely moves against the background stars but that will change soon.
