Nicely processed, the comet looks good, any idea on what the dimensions of your image are in degrees?

That's a remarkable image.
I had trouble using DSS recently for the first time. Do you reduce the size of your images for it to make the file smaller?

Thanks Guys!
Astroman, the image appears to be about 1.3 degrees wide.
Gregbradley, I used the raw files at their original size.

I did not autoguide. My eq6 mount was accurate enough this close to the SCP with good polar alignment.
