Comet Tuttle 27th Jan (still has a tail-barely!)

[Garyh]

Hi everyone,
Wanted to have another go at Comet Tuttle before it has faded too much so on the 27th of last month I had the first chance since about 10 or so days of cloud. Had a good hour of dark skies before the moon would rise so it was perfect!
Skies were dark and clear which really helped with the imaging. Couldn`t see it naked eye but was visible faintly in the finder, perhaps Mag 7 or abouts.
Image is a stack of 11 images of 3min at iso 800 with my 6" newt and Canon 300D, stacked on the comet and all done in PS. I was glad to pick up the tail extending to the right in my pic. Has faded alot since I last took a similar image a few days after Scott (Tornado33) posted his lovely closeup shot of Tuttle...Give it a go before it fades anymore!
Cheers and thanks for looking...

Nice one Gary, the tail is quite visible in your image.
Well done.

Thanks Jeoff, had to push it hard to show it as it was not visible in a single shot!
cheers
