About this image

A timelapse from a dark sky field showing the comets motion over 30 min from 00.17 to 00.47.

The brightest star SW of the comet is RR Ursae Minoris, magnitude ~4.6.

My first chance to observe this comet. Wish I could remember how to cometary stack in DSS. Neowise seems a long time ago.

Highly compressed to comply with 2MB limit.
