8P/Tuttle and 17P/Holmes with 200mm lense

Hi folks,
I was excited to actually get a clear break in the clouds on the 2nd to the north and the west. Quickly setup while it started to get dark and crossed my fingers that the cloud would stay away just long enough for me to image 2 comets in a hour or so. Luckily it stayed clear for over a hour which was great A little low cloud drifted through the images but not enough to effect them much.
Boy isn`t Tuttle moving along!
Tuttle image is 8 x 2min at iso 400 while Holmes is 12 x 1 min iso 800 with 200mm @ f/3.2
Holmes image a little blotchy as was pushed a bit to bring up the brightness.
Anyways thanks for looking and may get another of Tuttle if the cloud decides to break again!
cheers
