Comet 78P/Gehrels 2011-11-16

Here is a capture of this (relatively) bright comet from the other night.

I made this image by combining two stacks of 57 x 60 second sub exposures, the first a track-and-stack of the comet, the second a stack of the stars.

C11 scope, Atik 320E CCD, binned 2x2. Seeing was VERY soft.
