Couple more attempts - this time 8 x 2min and 2 dark frames with camera NR settings turned off. Unfortunately, I took them through my 100mm f5 acro, so there's some lovely blue fringing. Next time I'll go back to the ED80 and try more shorter exposures to improve the tracking.

One stacked on stars, one on the comet.

Speaking of stacking - does 20 x 30 second exposures give the same result (after stretching) as 10 x 1min or 5 x 2min ?
