Details:
The Arizona monsoon has finally ended, and we are back full force to getting deep sky and comet images here in Payson and Happy Jack. This image was taken this morning with my big scope and CCD, and is over an hour exposure combined. The comet was faintly but distinctly visible in 8x50 binoculars. This is the first time I had seen it visually. Tail is around 1/4 degree still, and the head is around mag 9 or so.
For this image, multiple short exposures in the Luminance and RGB data were aligned on the comets nucleus to keep the comet sharp, with trailed stars. Here is the full data:
12.5" f/5 homebuilt newtonian
ST10xme CCD, Astrodon color filters
1h 15m total integration time with color data
