stacking comets find a big planet like Jupiter spin it a bit faster and you have stacking comets ,well done Dave nicely stacked and processed

Glad to see you imaged the conjunction David .

If you're using DSS for stacking, hold down the shift key while selecting the comet and use the scroll wheel on your mouse to zoom in at the same time.
Makes it a lot easier to get good alignment.

Of course if you're already doing this, I'm just telling you how to suck eggs ;)
