About this image

This image is a stack of around 100 8 second exposures, from a bortle 6 on a moonlit night. This was the first clear sky where the comet was visible, and it had already faded significantly. It was visible by eye with averted vision, but has since faded. This was my first time stacking and editing any images, as a casual observer! and I think it turned out decent enough :)
