Quick stack of last night's NEOWISE results at 100mm F/1.8

Not quite happy with the background, will add flats and darks later, but very happy with the level of detail in this stack of 9 images taken with my Canon EOS 80D with Sigma 50-100mm F/1.8 ART zoom at 100mm on my EQ3-2 mount, each exposure 30 s at F/1.8, ISO 200.

The tail is clearly longer than the FOV of my 200mm F/2.8. I am also very pleased at the performance of this Sigma zoom at full aperture. Clearly not just a perfect portrait zoom, but excellent at wide-field astro-imaging

That is really nice Michael. I'm loving the detail in the tail. Lovely tight stars too.

Ever the perfectionist Michael, its already an absolute stunner! Looking forward to seeing the finished image 😀  Like you said the level of detail is very good.

Wow! That's splendid Michael. PmProbably the best show since Hale Bopp's visit to our skies.
