Title

Fully processed in PixInsight. All frames calibrated with bias, darks and flats and then aligned on the head of the comet. After stacking the L channel the stars were removed. Then an RGB image was combined and spectroscopically colour calibrated and then the stars were removed. Then the LRGB was created with the starless images. Finally, the stars were saved from a stack of the RGB data which was aligned on the stars. Finally the RGB stars were combined with the starless LRGB image.Constellation Draco Field centre RA: 15h20m Dec: +56°53' Position angle: -91°36' Field size 1°06' × 0°52' Equipment StellaMira 104mm ED2 Triplet f/6.25 APO Refractor 10Micron GM 1000 HPS mount Starlight XPress TRIUS PRO 694 mono CCD camera Starlight Xpress 7 position 1.25" filter wheel Optolong LRGB, Ha, OIII, SII filters Starlight XPress OAG Starlight Xpress LoadStar V2 guide camera Exposure L: 10 x 180s; R,G and B all 5 x 120s Location PixelSkies, Castilléjar in the province of Granada, Andalucia Target name
