Comet C/2014 E2 Jacques May 22

Endless frustration with the weather, this comet won't be around for much longer for us in the southern hemisphere. I managed to squeeze 19 x 30 second frames between the clouds for this shot. The double stars are tracking offsets, caused by cloud in the middle of the session. I still can't get Stars + comet tracking in DSS to look like anything other than a mess. Comet tracking alone looks more gooderer.

19 x 30 seconds, ED100 at F9, Pentax K-x.
