Comet 2012 X1 LINEAR is still putting on a good show in the morning sky. Hard to stay up for though! Was easy to spot in the ED100 at 32X.

Two pics, one 20 x 1 minute subs tracking on stars and the other 54 x 1 minute subs at ISO 1600 stacking on the comet through the SW ED100 at F9, Pentax K-x.

Nice Kevin! This comet is teasing us and starting to look good!
What software are you using to stack on the comet?

Hi Paul, I use DSS to stack on the comet.

AAh thanks Kevin,

Same here, my last post was a first time effort using DSS.
