My first comet image.!
264 x 20s Subs @ minus 20oC
60 x Darks
60 x Flats
I imaged this at the end of July in my back garden in Worthing , but only just processed it using DSS comet stacking and PS CC 64bit.
I compared it with this one on this site https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/small-bodies/comets/21p-giacobini-zinner/in-depth/and it compares well.
