About this image

I initially intended to do a 15 minute stint on c/12p, but wondered if more detail would appear if I went for 60 mins of data instead. The extra 45 mins didn't add much but, by using a Sigma+Add stype of stacking, the stars in the scene nearly vanished.

Resolution is 0.75 arc secs per pixel

Was quite pleased with the result. I may attempt a magnitude estimate just to see how far out my home brew variable star measuring software is...
