Oy oy oy, what a time I have had with this comet! I only realised it was visible a few nights ago, but it's in a tricky spot for me, with a combination of trees and power lines in the way. But last night I got about 20 minutes of 10-second shots of the thing with my Seestar S50 that I was *sure* would be easy as pie to turn into something useful. Well, not so much. Pixinsight kept rejecting frames that were perfectly usable so in the end I reverted to the caveman approach of doing everything manually. This is the result!

Hey Caveman James! :)

Very cool looking! I think you did well with this. I have had my eye on this for about 2 weeks maybe, but the window to capture it where I am at is so small, and then tie it into life with the grandkids, I just haven't had a moment I could get it. I am not sure there are many days left with it.
