Well done, I've still got a couple of time lapses of it waiting to be processed, need it to start raining so I get time to do it 😂

Steady on!  Cloudy will do.  I've had enough rain this winter to last for several months more at least.

I think it was one of yours I saw a while back. Super clear time lapse of a comet. It is what inspired me to try it myself 👍

Hopefully get mine that good one day 🤞

Very nice, and damn, that thing is moving!

Just curious; for the 'comet tracked' image, with stars as trails, did you make that using the comet stacking in DSS ?

Yes, I used the comet only stacking in DSS for the star trails and for the picture with the stars and comet tracked I used the comet and star stacking selection.
