Sweet Lemmon

Hi everyone,

This comet is a splendid sight, to capture it on the sensor was also quite a joy. Not the best quality image , very noisy but for the equipment I think it turned out alright.Particularly as I can just see a hint of the tail to the left of the coma.

Any tips on processing will be greatly appreciated as I just can't get rid of the noise but it is expected for the high iso.

Equipment used was a Canon 550D with Ef 15-85mm lens on a eq mount, manually guided by hand estimating rotation of the slow motion control.

Image details- 30 seconds , f/5.6 at 3200 iso.

Thanks for viewing
Orestis

PS- Is there anybody that knows the exact rotation rate I should turn the shaft ?
