great image, I know Scott Alder deliberately stacked on the comet not the stars - hence the sharp comet and trailing stars in his image. We were aiming to get this shot but we got clouded out really early at our clubs viewing night on saturday

Great image Doug, you've just got me hooked on comets! You've mastered the FS102/QHY8 combo for sure. Keep 'em coming.

Cheers,

Rob
