Photo description / processing

Motion of Comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The imaging was done during the New Year holidays on January 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9, totaling 6 nights. Shot with a Nikon D5300 and a Tamron AF 70-300mm f4-5.6 Di LD Macro lens (at 70mm) on a tripod. Stacked 200 frames of 5 seconds each, ISO 5000, f4, for all nights. Only from January 6, 176 frames were stacked due to many flawed shots. For calibration, 15 darks and 27 biases were taken. Stacking done in DSS, processing in Photoshop.
