I was guiding on the comet core. I was using a qhy5 and ED 80 as my guiding platform with PHD. I had to guide at 3 second exposures to get enough image in the core to allow for reasonable guiding.

Thanks everyone for the comments.

Something diferent for me trying to image something moving so fast. I had no real idea wheather I would be able to get a reasonable image out of the subs taken although each sub looked quite good. Stacking was done manually after each shot was lightly stretched in CS3 to give me some detail in the core to stack on.
