About this image

Hard to guide through low mist, but the comet seems to be slightly tighter in these later shots. No sign of ion tail now (at least with my location and setup)

Manually aligned each 60sec subframe (using Astroart) based on a 8 pixel centroid with contrast tuned down so only the brightest part of the coma was visible.Any naff frames skipped. 5x60sec dark frames and 10x5sec flats (using a white baffle and an illuminated patch of white paint on inside of observatory roof)
