This is a lovely image did you stack the comet and stars separately and composite them or is the comet trailed? Either way a lovely image

Thanks Simon, I didnt do any separate stacking and the comet has trailed in the 12min exposure. However, the comet is moving parallel to it's declination circle hence the trailing is in the same direction :)
