Mcnaught with Berts 300mm f2.8 lens

Hi
I used Bert's 300mm f2.8 flourite lens. The comet is too low for my 10 inch scope to see it so I could not use its mount to track it. I put the lens on a tripod and shot 20, three sec. shots ISO 400 and aligned them on the comet head, stacked them in Iris. The head is becoming more diffuse as it moves away from the Sun, as is the tail. My modded 350D was used, no filters used.
