No processing artifacts either which are easy to get doing comets.
Superb.
One for the trophy room!

Very high praise Greg...thank you.
I was very lucky.
The bulk of my exposures were between 30 seconds and 90 seconds and I could not get any detail in the tail from these.
Luckily I took 5 x 5 minute exposures as an experiment, thinking they would show too much movement. However, it was only with these 5 minute exposures that I was able to produce a descent photo.
My processing and work flow was very basic...guide on the stars, stack in COMET+STAR mode in Deep Sky Stacker then Photoshop.
