Comet ZTF from the far south

Comet ZTF from 43 degrees south at Kingston, Tasmania last night when close to Mars.

EAA observation with all processing completed within the live stack. 20 minute total exposure: 150 X 8 second frames stacked in SharpCap 4.1 Beta. Gain 300. Vixen ED103S (@f5.3) and ASI385 camera. No post processing.

The comet tracking feature in SharpCap 4.1 works seamlessly and gave good resolution of the core. Some gaps in the star trails were from SharpCap pausing the stack when clouds passed through.
