NGC1647 & C/2022 E3 (ZTF)

[Scooot]

A bit of a struggle to get this image. I had to throw away most of the lights because of cloud and many of the others weren’t very good either. In addition my imaging train moved somehow and my flats only worked on the first few images. I therefore ended up with some very large dust mites on the stack. Instead of giving up and chucking them all away I decided to try and salvage it with some synthetic flats, so I’m quite pleased with the result considering. It comprises 74 one minute exposures taken with my 2600MC pro and baby Tak on the night of the 14th & 15th Feb.
