Something different again from me. I have been planning to image this one for a couple of weeks now and I had a clear night on the 1/6. I was hoping to capture the conjunction with the Helix nebula this weekend but the weather is horrible! It was a fairly late night waiting for Aquarius to rise but well worth it.

My first attempt at a comet here. It appeared quite large looking through my camera with the centre looking sharp but I am having trouble stacking about 30m worth of 1m subs in DSS. I am using comet mode and have tried various options but the comet always loses a lot of detail and doesn't look sharp
