There does seem to be a similar streak in the tree's near it - so cant say for sure anychance of stacking more for a deeper shot? i did stretch the hell out of it PS and there seems to be something there?
PS have included the obit path (blue line) for that moment in time - interesting to look at the other fragments on it - some slightly off the path
PS EDIT: middy, re comet from 90's sure your not thinking of Hale Bopp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_Hale-Bopp |
There was a tree in the way for any images earlier than those. I have a very narrow window of opportunity between two trees. If I get a chance again I might try some 48sec @ ISO400 exposures instead of 32sec @ ISO200.
As for the 90's comet, I just found the photo I took and it would have been around late 1997 so that would make it Hale-Bopp.
