Nice result Jeanette.

Did you try to see if your stack/ align software would 'lock'
on to the brightest part of the coma?

If it can't then maybe try a manual align?
There is a lot of detail there of the tail that could be smeared because
you did a 'star' align.

The comet would have moved quite a bit in 18 minutes.

The original images I posted were the wrong ones.
I've reposted the correct one.
I'll reprocess the data as you suggested and see what I can come up with.
Thanks a lot Steve for the help.

Nice shot jjj.....more exposure would've probably brought more out in the tails, but you've managed to capture it very well...good job
