That’s a lovely image. Great star field as well as the comet.

I’m not surprised it’s very classy. How do you completely remove the star trails?

I've looked at the iTelescope before but didn't/don't understand their pricing or how it works for individuals. Besides, it's not the same as doing it all yourself though I've no doubt they get a lot more clear skies.

This image has only 6 minutes of luminance and is guided on stars, sufficient to no evidence comet trail.

Comet C/2018 Y1 Iwamoto on February 10th 2019 , three days after its perihelion and three days before ist maximum approaching to Earth. Its ionic tail is faintly visible toward West (to right) in this image, at same time is possible to see a dust tail toeard Southeast (to down-left) only during these days in which our planet cross the orbital plane of comet. The Iwamoto also reached those days its maximum brightness with a magnitude near 6.5 and a coma with angular size of 20'. The brightest star into field is Chi Leonis with magnitude 4.6.

Telescope GSO 8" N f/3.8.
Camera Atik 383L+.
68 min. total exposure.
From Vallés, Valencia (Spain).

Comet C/2018 Y1 (Iwamoto) photographed on February 26th 2019. Since my previous image two weeks before when was at its maximum with magnitude 6, comet brightness has dropped until magnitude 7.5, decreasing at same time its coma angular size from 20 to 12 arcminutes. Tail also has faded quite, very faint and with only 10 arcminutes lenght toward East (to left).
