Default Astro: Repost of my comet Holmes image - 1 attachment

Forgot "Astro:" last time.

Nikon D200 at prime focus of F/5 6" Newt.
Stack of 50 frames, cropped to 500x500.
ISO 1000 at 1/4 sec, manually tracked.

Blown up 5x.

I found it first in binoculars, then scope, then took pics.

Pretty good achievement being in the LA basin with a lot of smoke
haze still in the air, massive light pollution, and a nearly full
moon. I could barely make out but 3 or 4 stars at 1x.
