Comet Leonos from 11 Nov (more pictures added)

[Garyh]

Hi all,
Its taken me a while to get around to processing some of these comet pics but this is the first stack of comet Leonos. Not a easy thing to do as DSS didn`t do a good job so had to resort to stacking in PS.
Image taken on the 11th Nov just after 8pm and is a stack of 11 x 90 sec at iso 800. Stacking aligned on comet to try to show as much detail as possible..
Will try combining a star stack and comet stack to freeze everything..shall be some work there!!!....
Thanks for looking...:thumbsup:

Just finished some more images from the 11 and 12th, combined comet and star stack. Happy with the results but the tail is a bit blurred due to the star stacking. Mainly focused on freezing the movement of the comet head and the very brightest part of the tail so theres a loss of detail in most of the tail. The comet stack from the 12th has had no noise reduction as this destroyed the finer details..
Thanks for looking everyone!...:thumbsup:

Beautiful work, Gary. I can't wait to see the combined stack. It will look really nice with the cluster!

Thanks Guys..:thumbsup:
Only wish I knew a way to freeze the comet and stars as in the image stacked on the comet head..tried DSS comet ans star alignment but it did a terrible job of it. So had to layer in the comet head with a little touchup with the clone brush to remove the star trails that were showing around the tail and head...but I am happy with them...:)
thanks for looking!
