Comet 8P/Tuttle

Tonight I could actually be bothered dragging all the gear out to do some imaging. I got all inspired after reading the thread about 8P/Tuttle in the Observational Astronomy forum.

Equipment: Meade DSI Pro + 70-300 mm Sigma lens @ 70 mm.

25 x 60 sec exposures + 10 x 30 sec exposures

Stacked in Iris and processed in Photoshop. Processed for LCD monitors (On a CRT it doesn't show up as well).

I can confirm that it was exactly where the finder chart said it would be.
