About this image

I'm still only able to get at this comet from an upstairs window or local obstructions get in the way. To counterbalance not being able to track with the magnification involved I took hundreds of one second exposures and then stuck them together in stacked groups ranging in size from 75 images up to 151 images in the largest group. This image shwos the two most interesting stacks at the top then all seven stacks reduced to the core where they overlapped.

I've included the view seen on the laptop with the telescope pointing out above the street outside from upstairs.
