About this image

Despite both a nearly full Moon and a number of satellite trails, the brightest of which I was unable to remove, I managed to capture this comet which is currently high in our skies after dark.

Nice presentation of the two images together. What is the field of view? I guess plate solving won't work!

Thanks, Mike.

Hello Mike

I hadn't done the astrometry but checking with Astrometry.Net the image field of view is 25.7 x 20 arc minutes with a pixel scale of 0.362 arc secs per pixel.
