About this image

The next rung up my cometary apprenticeship ladder. Moonlight was a bit of an imposition, but I wanted to any opportunity to help progress. Starting to get my bearings on setup and capture but recent weather has conspired to slow down this process. Am using Deepskystacker to segregate comet motion from that of the stars, but hope to master PHD2 +Carte du Ciel to the same end .It all seems quite a change from hi-res planetary work.
