About this image

Processing this image was slightly delayed by the Christmas prep. It wouldn't have happened this evening but the sky forecast as clear shows not a single star.

So, the images were single 30s frames on a not very good night. When I stacked them I manually aligned them on to the comet.

Again had trouble with the mirror icing up. I will swear some parts of the tube interior have started to go mouldy. But not too bad a picture overall.
