The skies cleared just before 9 last night which gave me a short window to have a go at the comet again. Just managed 16 usable sub frames, each of 60 seconds @ iso 1250.

Nikon 800E, Altair 115 EDT-APO, iOptron iEQ45 Pro. Capture SG Pro, Processing PixInsight and Photoshop for annotation and scaling.

Moon circa 82% illuminated has produced a marked gradient and subdued colour information.

Lovely, really great image and colour.  I had some clear skies last night, but I thought the moon was too much and too close, so didnt bother trying for the comet.  You have proved that I should have!
