M71 and Garradd

G'day all,

Couldn't resist getting on the Garradd band-wagon It's a great opportunity for something different.

Here's my attempt from last night:

Larger file and the full frame crop available a the link above.

I quite like the result but...
- lacks flat frames, which is fairly obvious
- dark subtraction could be improved
- having trouble making the comet stand out from the stars, especially when it comes to the tail.
