To make the above image, 11 one minute exposures were stacked by summing and aligning the comets nucleus. The stars are streaks from the comets motion across the sky. The image was ported into Picture Window Pro and the Curves function was applied to render the comets nucleus at the same time as its half a degree long tail.
