Finally got my first Comet - Jacques

After meaning to image this comet for a long while I finally got round to it last night.

The image is quite noisy as really cropped and the use of lots of different ISO's every thing from 800 to 3200 and times between 30s and 60s - total of about 10 mins.

I had no idea what the best setting would be and the moon didn't help either.

Anyway despite the noise I have my first ever comet both visually and as an image. So for that I am very happy.

Taken using my usual stuff:

SW 150 PDS, EQ5 Pro Synscan GOTO.

Guiding: SW ST80 and QHY5.

Modded Canon 600D and coma corrector with CLS clip filter.

Using: BYEOS, PHD, DSS, Photoshop CC.
